Abstract
Surface structure and the propagation of elementary growth layers over the (010) face of orthorhombic lysozyme crystal is examined at a molecular-scale resolution by the method of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The steps have a small number of kinks spaced by about 150 growth units. The step motion occurs via successive deposition of rows of growth units. The data obtained are discussed in terms of the model of one-dimensional nucleation.
