The purified mutant protein produced more regular crystals displaying an improved diffraction pattern, reaching 1.4 Å resolution, with respect to the wild-type YscD.
After that point, the morphology of the system becomes more regular, almost crystal-like, and the three phases start to grow again, with the same growth rate R t)∝tn, with n=0.11.
However, with an increasing weight of the regularization term, the tips of the crystal become more regular.
Oriented β-crystals with more regular orientation in the skin layer were favorable for the earlier occurrence and delayed enlargement of microvoids.
Due to the presence of fluorides, biological apatite of shark enameloid shows both higher crystal sizes and a more regular hexagonal symmetry if compared to non-fluoridated biological apatite of bones and teeth (Daculsi et al. 1997).
In B. pavonina, this stacking is far more regular, creating what are known as photonic crystals.
In B. pavonina, however, this stacking is far more regular, creating what are known as photonic crystals.
Immediately after deposition, the droplets were remarkably uniform in size and produced particulate crystals ≪10μm and were considerably more regular in morphology when compared with those formed without using an electric field.
In microgravity, however, gravitational disturbances are at minimum level, thus allowing some crystals to grow in a more regular and perfect manner.
After the synthesis, reported in 2008, of anatase microcrystals enriched in high-energy {001} facets, many efforts have been made aimed at tuning the crystal morphology of anatase, by means of either fluorine-mediated or more environmentally friendly methods, producing a deviation from its regular crystal growth.
