Crystal Growth Inhibitors for the Prevention of l-Cystine Kidney Stones Through Molecular Design [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Crystallization of l-cystine is a critical step in the pathogenesis of cystine kidney stones. Treatments for this disease are somewhat effective but often lead to adverse side effects. Real-time in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveals that l-cystine dimethylester (L-CDME) and l-cystine methylester (L-CME) dramatically reduce the growth velocity of the six symmetry-equivalent 100 steps because of specific binding at the crystal surface, which frustrates the attachment of l-cystine molecules. L-CDME and L-CME produce l-cystine crystals with different habits that reveal distinct binding modes at the crystal surfaces. The AFM observations are mirrored by reduced crystal yield and crystal size in the presence of L-CDME and L-CME, collectively suggesting a new pathway to the prevention of l-cystine stones by rational design of crystal growth inhibitors.
