Title : Horse Serum Albumin crystals grown during the USML-1 mission

Caption :

Horse Serum Albumin crystals grown during the USML-1 mission's Protein Crystal Growth Glovebo experiment. These crystals were grown using a vapor diffusion technique at 22 degrees C. The crystals were allowed to grow for nine days while in orbit. Crystals of 1.0 mm in length were produced. The most abundant blood serum protein, regulates blood pressure and transports ions, metabolites, and therapeutic drugs.
