It has been shown that electrical properties of flat glass substrates
affect the conditions of growth of biological lysozyme (LZ) crystals. It
follows from our results that negatively charged substrates, including
the untreated precleaned glasses, absorb selectively the ionic LZ residues
and so they are applicable for the growth of biocrystals in flat cells.
The largest LZ crystals obtained by us have the size of 0.7 mm.
