Abstract

The possibility to control the crystallization process of biomaterials by the temperature was examined by the mathematical simulation of lysozyme crystallization. The precision-temperature control with creation of a local temperature gradient in solution was demonstrated to allow the growth of lysozyme crystals with high structural perfection.
