Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was the first enzyme to have its three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray diffraction techniques1. A catalytic mechanism, featuring a long-lived oxocarbenium ...

Transgenic hen-egg lysozyme-specific B cells (green) and control, nontransgenic B cells (red) were transferred into syngeneic mice. One day later, the animals were injected with hen-egg lysozyme and ...

The scientists then tested for a particularly important egg white protein called lysozyme to make sure it had properly reformed. Scientists recovered 85 percent of the protein.

Chemists have figured out how to unboil egg whites -- an innovation that could dramatically reduce costs for cancer treatments, food production and other segments of the $160 billion global ...

We start with egg whites boiled for 20 minutes at 90 degrees Celsius and return a key protein in the egg to working order.” Like many researchers, he has struggled to efficiently produce or recycle ...
