25. Correspondingly, salt solution is 'quenched' along the path A′ A; but the protein concentrations involved are lower, so that we do not discuss processes occurring in the salt-rich parts of our samples

28. Comparing results in [6] and [28] suggests that decreasing the attraction range gradually drops NErg below LL

31. Note that many previous studies of lysozyme (e.g. [15, 22]) used temperature quenches to investigate liquid-liquid phase separation and aggregation. Since the relative positions of the relevant boundaries change with temperature, and observations are quench-path dependent, it is non-trivial to compare our constant-temperature findings to data from temperature quenches. A comprehensive data set covering a range of lysozyme concentrations, salt concentrations, and temperatures is required
