20. Uncracked crystals (as in Fig. 11) do have some modest impurity enrichment in their cores because impurities decorate growth sector boundaries, and the ratio of sector suface area to volume diverges in the core.

23. Additional unlabeled ovotransferrin was included in the new growth solution to reduce the rate of spontaneous nucleation—making it easier to visually distinguish the transferred crystal—and to allow post-transfer growth in a medium impure by protein crystal growth standards (5% w/w).
