Now, Space BD is inheriting those technologies as the sole private business partner and started the global expansion and commercializaion as of May, 2021.The microgravity environment unique to space allows growing the high-quality protein crystals (including protein-protein/protein-ligand complex crystals) that are difficult to achieve on the ground. (diffraction resolution can be improved to less than 1.0Å). Therefore, there is a higher chance of obtaining high-quality crystals with well-ordered molecules.
