Published: November 2009

This review presents the state of the art in protein crystallization, nucleation and growth under electric fields. Both external and internal applications of Direct Current (DC) and Alternative Current (AC) experiments are discussed. It is shown that competing effects account for the decreased nucleation time and number of crystals observed yielding larger and sometimes better quality crystals.
