An investigation of magnetic field effects on the dissolution of lysozyme crystal and related phenomena It is now widely known that a magnetic ®eld, either homogeneous or inhomogeneous, depresses the growth process of protein crystals. In this report, the dissolution process of tetragonal lysozyme crystals is also con®rmed to be depressed by a homogeneous magnetic ®eld (inhomogeneity
