Welcome to Research in Macromolecular Crowding, a shared, online collection of facts and information about crowding. This database was created by Kevin Neff, who wishes to help others (especially young graduate students) avoid suffering through an exhaustive search of the crowding literature.

This database includes research about

1. the effects of crowding on reaction kinetics and equilibria
2. examples of the effect of crowding in biological systems
3. Mathematical and computational models that take crowding into account
4. Experimental systems and techniques used to study crowding
5. Articles that mention the idea or crowding or use crowded conditions but do not study crowding per se
6. Research that involves measurement of diffusion within the cell or artificial cell-like environments
7. Research about the effects of size and shape of crowding particles
8. Research about how crowding effects change depending on the relative size of reactants

If you are doing research in this area, please contribute to this database. I've tried to get a start on curating the information, but it is not definitive or completely exhaustive.
