On the interpretation of quantitative experimental data on nucleation rates using classical nucleation theory
Article Abstract:
The way experimental data for nucleation rates could be analyzed is considered if it is assumed that classical nucleation theory is a reasonable description of the nucleation. The experimental data for lysozyme implies values for a parameter that are outside the physically reasonable bounds for homogeneous nucleation but are consistent with heterogeneous nucleation.

Heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation compared: Rapid nucleation on microscopic impurities
Article Abstract:
Computer simulation is used to calculate the rates of both homogeneous nucleation and heterogeneous nucleation on microscopic impurities. The results have indicated that impurities as small as single molecules can result in homogeneous nucleation being irrelevant due to heterogeneous nucleation on these microscopic impurities being much faster.
