Growth and etching kinetics of tetragonal lysozyme

Abstract The morphology and kinetics of the growth and dissolution of lysozyme in aqueous solutions with 2.5% NaCl and at pH=4.5 were studied in-situ with a depth resolution of 300 A (4 unit cells) by high resolution optical microscopy and digital image processing. The bulk super- or undersaturation, σ, of the solution insidea closed growth cell was controlled by temperature. The growth habit was bound by (110) and (101) faces that grew through layer spreading, although with different growth rate dependencies on supersaturation/temperature. At σ
