The nucleation rate of porcine insulin increased under application of an external AC electric field at 3 MHz. This is attributed to the electrostatic energy added to the chemical potentials of both the liquid and solid phases; the chemical potential of the solid was significantly changed compared with that of the liquid, which lead to an increase in the driving force for nucleation. Therefore, application of an external AC electric field can be a useful technique for protein crystallization. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
