High-throughput crystallographic screening device and method for crystalizing membrane proteins using a sub physiological resting membrane potential across a lipid matrix of variable composition
The invention is a high-throughput voltage screening crystallographic device and methodology that uses multiple micro wells and electric circuits capable of assaying different crystallization condition for the same or different proteins of interest at the same of different voltages under a humidity and temperature controlled environment. The protein is solubilized in a lipid matrix similar to the lipid composition of the protein in the native environment to ensure stability of the protein during crystallization. The invention provides a system and method where the protein is transferred to a lipid matrix that holds a resting membrane potential, which reduces the degree of conformational freedom of the protein. The invention overcomes the majority of the difficulties associated with vapor diffusion techniques and essentially reconstitutes the protein in its native lipid environment under “cuasi” physiological conditions.

HIGHLY POLARIZABLE METAL-FREE PEROVSKITE ELECTRO-OPTIC MATERIALS
The present invention relates to highly polarizable 3D organic perovskites of the general formula ABX.sub.3, prepared by introducing halogen functional groups in the A-site cation (in which the A and B sites are occupied by organic cations and the X site is a monovalent non-metallic counterion). The (DCl)(NH.sub.4)(BF.sub.4).sub.3 crystal exhibits a strong linear electrooptic (EO) effect with an effective EO coefficient of 20 pmV.sup.−1, which is 10 times higher than that of metal halide perovskites. These 3D organic perovskites are solution processed and compatible with silicon, and illustrate the potential of rationally-designed all-organic perovskites for use in on-chip modulators, electro-optic devices, piezoelectric devices, or silicon photonics devices.
