Unambiguous evidence for a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate on the lysozyme reaction pathway has recently been reported, finally settling what kind of mechanism this textbook enzyme uses.

The three-dimensional structures of lysozyme (Protein Data Bank code 1LYY), transthyretin (Protein Data Bank code 1TTA), apolipoprotein A-I (Protein Data Bank code 1AV1), and immunoglobulin κ ...

Lysozyme is best known for digesting the cell walls of bacteria. But the segment of the molecule that does that job is not the part that drives neuropathic pain, the researchers found, suggesting ...

In this study using the BeNano 90 Zeta, at the concentration of 30 mg/mLm the particle size of lysozyme was measured to be 3.63 nm ± 0.22 nm and the molecular weight of lysozyme was calculated to ...

It was assumed that lysozyme single crystals can have a piezoelectric effect, which means they can generate electric charge at mechanical pressure and deform under the action of an electric field ...

In the absence of arginine, the intensity size distributions of lysozyme become dominated by aggregates with hydrodynamic diameters of 100-200nm when the temperature increases to 71.0°C, but the ...

Sir Alexander Fleming made two discoveries - the antibiotic penicillin, and the enzyme lysozyme - that have had a lasting impact on medical science. Now, one hundred years later, scientists have built ...

Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of lysozyme, a human antimicrobial protein, has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs and may one day be used ...

The lysozyme bilayer structure comprised a bottom layer of lysozyme molecules oriented side-on and an upper layer with molecules tilted or side-on. The team elucidated the mechanism behind the ...
