Abstract
A kinetic model of crystallization of lysozyme is proposed, and computer calculations of this process are carried out. The conditions for the formation of such crystals are determined. Under these conditions, individual crystals were grown that were suitable for X-ray examination. The developed model enables prediction of the quantity, size, and place of crystal nucleation inside the capillary.
