Abstract

This paper discusses the need for a systematic and standard naming nomenclature within the field of macromolecular crystallisation, and presents a set of rules and standard names which provides a start towards this end. The field of protein crystallisation is populated by biologists and chemists, and the dictionary in use needs to be unambiguous to both disciplines, yet must have useability as the most fundamental tenet if it is going to be widely adopted.
