摘要：

Well-faceted crystals of concanavalin A were obtained in two different morphologies. Prior to the crystallization, concanavalin A was homogeneously metallized with Mn2+ and Ca2+ cations, Using the metallized samples, we measured the solubility of a well-faceted crystal. The as-grown crystal was bounded by flat faces with high Miller indices. We measured the normal growth rate (R) of these flat faces with respect to the supersaturation (sigma). The R-sigma relation showed that the growth mode corresponded to two-dimensional nucleation growth of a birth and spread type. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
