Numerical analysis of the concentration depletion zones in a transient state suggested that, in microgravity, protein crystals grow in a lower supersaturation and the impurity ratio decreases in the centre of the crystal.

Keywords: microgravity; transient and homogeneous field; transient and diffusive field; protein crystal; numerical model; protein depletion zone; impurity depletion zone.
