Figure 1. Morphologies of lysozyme crystals in the presence of layered silicates.

Figure 1

Micrographs of lysozyme crystals in the absence of layered silicate (Control) (A) and in the presence of sericite (B), K-tetrasilicic fluoromica (C) and Na-tetrasilicic fluoromica (D). Crystallization conditions: starting lysozyme concentration 20 mg/mL, starting silicate content 0.2%, precipitant agent sodium chloride 1.0 M in sodium acetate 0.2 M, pH 4.7. Scale bar: 0.5 mm.
