摘要: Preferred orientation along c-axis of hen-egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) crystals has been observed in an external electric field. This fact was explained on the basis a working hypothesis for specific spatial distribution positive charges individual HEWL molecules, and thus attributed to (preferred) molecules solution, under these conditions. Besides, grew predominantly cathode side glass cell. Due field faster. These observations have recently reported measurements Aubry co-workers, which show increased concentration solution near cathode, lower one anode.
