Abstract

A method is provided for forming ordered macromolecular protein arrays by avoiding a binding pathway that leads to densely packed, disordered states during protein crystal growth, by a diffusion limited process or by allowing controlled growth to occur by removal of the initial supported protein layer to a different environment.
