Micro‐Brillouin Scattering Study of Acoustic Properties of Protein Crystals

Abstract

Polymorphism and dehydration process are studied in lysozyme crystals. Three kinds of crystals with tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic systems are successfully grown by two liquids method. The dehydration process of a tetragonal crystal is investigated by the micro‐Brillouin scattering techniques. This process is discussed by the Avrami–Erofe'ev equation.
