Simple probabilistic model for step-wise growth of polymers is used for making some parallels with the nucleation of protein crystals. Although the considerations are made within 1D case, this approximation still shows some important peculiarities of protein crystal nucleation and growth. Thus, the present approach turns out to be useful for interpretation of some important experimental results regarding these processes.
