Abstract
The propagation of elementary layers over the (010) face of orthorhomb ic lysozyme crystal is examined at a molecular-scale resolution by the method of atomic force microscopy. The steps have a small number of k inks spaced by about 100 growth units. The step motion occurs via succ essive deposition of rows of growth units. The data obtained are discu ssed in terms of the model of one-dimensional nucleation.
