This paper deals with homogeneous and heterogeneous primary nucleation and the atomistic model of heterogeneous primary and secondary nucleation. Three aspects of crystal growth mechanisms will be taken into account: growth by two-dimensional nucleation, the so-called birth and spread model, spiral
To attempt to understand the physical principles underlying protein crystallization, an algorithm is described for simulating the crystal nucleation event computationally. The validity of the approach is supported by its ability to reproduce closely the wellknown preference of proteins for particula
