ABSTRACT We present a method to characterize lysozyme pre-crystalline aggregates using a forward-light-scattering technique, which is highly sensitive to protein aggregates. The static light scattering properties at small angles of crystallizing lysozyme aggregates are discussed, and related to the crystallization conditions based on the concentration of added precipitant NaCl. Lysozyme solutions that started to crystallize because of precipitant exhibit...

ABSTRACT The chemical, physical, and biological properties of more than two millions of proteins which follow to be synthesized by Pharmaceutical Industry, can be anticipated (by using their XRD diffrac-tograms) if they will be grown from aqueous drops as high quality, large volume single-crystals. This is not a simple task and usually the growing process is seen as art rather tha...
