Description

General description

Silicone oil is a highly viscous oil made up of poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylphenylsiloxane) chains.

Application

Silicone oil has been used as a medium component in containerless protein crystallization techniques which do not require contact with a solid surface. It was used as an oil bath during the synthesis of methyl 2-methylazulene-1-carboxylate.

High-quality crystals are key to obtaining accurate three-dimensional structures of proteins using X-ray diffraction techniques. However, obtaining such protein crystals is often a challenge. Several containerless crystallization techniques have been reported to have the ability to improve crystal quality, but
