Protein Crystals in Space in Florida Schools

Marianne Barnes

 From 1999 through May 31st, 2005,  the Protein Crystals in Space in Florida Schools' Program, was funded by the Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC).  It flew over 100 teacher and student made protein crystallization payload samples in three space shuttle launches to the International Space Station (ISS).   FSGC is providing limited travel funding to continue support for the lysozyme protein crystal classroom activity when possible.
