Well, the original movie was reasonably well done. But the made for TV

Hi Amit-
We used a well-expressing soluble protein fusion (SUMO) at the N-term of a
couple of B. anthracis proteins that we were trying to produce in E. coli,
which improved the soluble yield of both targets tremendously. The
disadvantage of a fusion is of course you produce a "non-native" protein-
Hi Harry-
X-ray crystallography played an integral part in discoveries made in Michael
Crichton's "Andromeda Strain". Mainly it was used to determine the elemental
composition and arrangement of the "capsid" or shell that the "foreign"

Both the original movie and the made-for-TV movies of "The Andromeda Strain"
had short references to crystallography, the first in how the strain was
organized, the second in how a message from the future was encoded in

My two cents:

I think this assumption is confusing. If the crystals were grown in
