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

## Abstract Simple probabilistic model for stepโwise growth of polymers is used for making some parallels with the nucleation of protein crystals. Although the considerations are made within 1D case, this approximation still shows some important peculiarities of protein crystal nucleation and growt
## Abstract A new method of protein nucleation and crystallization based on LangmuirโBlodgett technology is here utilized for the template stimulation of crystal growth of so far nonโcrystallized proteins. Microcrystals (60โ120 ฮผm) of bovine cytochrome P450scc and human protein kinase CKII alpha su
## Abstract Using __meanโseparationโworks__ method of Stranski and Kaischew calculations of nucleus form and energy barrier for its formation are performed for globular protein crystals. This is done on the basis of a simple model suggested for crystal nucleation of such proteins. The prerequisite
## Abstract With a view to experimental results on protein crystal nucleation the effects of cluster coalescence are probed semiโquantitatively. The steric association restriction, which stems from the patchy surface of the protein molecules, explains both experimentally measured low crystal nuclea
Nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals is an essential antecedent to gallstone formation. It is now generally agreed that nucleation occurs at a much more rapid rate in gallbladder bile from patients with cholesterol cholelithiasis (abnormals) than it does in gallbladder bile from normal sub
