Abstract
Measurements of refractive index as a function of time have been done in supersaturated lysozyme solutions. They reveal that the refractive index decreases in free solutions and increases in gelled solutions du ring prenucleation. These results are interpreted assuming molecular a ssociations that sediment in free solution and levitate in gel medium.
