Abstract:
A procedure which allows an investigator to supply a crystal with fresh mother material without inducing significant growth defects is described. This technique requires that the crystal is grown in a gelled hanging or sitting drop. An example concerning a model macromolecule, hen egg-white lysozyme, is given. Extension of this procedure to other macromolecules is discussed.
