Fluid-crystal coexistence for proteins and inorganic nanocolloids: Dependence on ionic strength

We investigate theoretically the fluid-crystal coexistence of solutions of globular charged nanoparticles such as proteins and inorganic colloids. The thermodynamic properties of the fluid phase are computed via the optimized Baxter model P. Prinsen and T. Odijk [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 6525 (2004)]. This is done specifically for lysozyme and...
