Abstract
A possibility of the formation a self-contained cylindrical lattice un der crystallization of proteins due to the anisotropic (trapezoidal) s hape of their globules is discussed theoretically. The theory of cylin drical crystallization is considered. It is shown that in this case th e list of the low-symmetry phases is completely determined by the symm etry of the cylindrical liquid, which is predetermined by the molecula r shape. The phase symmetries and structures are found out. The phase diagrams are obtained.
