Abstract
Assuming a simple model, it can be derived that the free energy difference between protein molecules in the crystalline state and in a saturated solution is determined by C(sol)/C(cr), in which C(sol) is the concentration of the protein in the solution and C(cr) that in the crystal. It is estimated that the molecules in the crystalline state are 3-6 kcal/mol more stable than in solution.
