LYSOZYME, a bacteriolytic enzyme discovered ... The enzyme is a basic protein of low molecular weight that lyses susceptible bacteria by a reaction with cell-wall mucopolysaccharides releasing ...

The photograph shows a model of lysozyme a hanging from the ceiling with its 129 amino acids in an extended conformation. Constructed from components on a scale of 2 cm to the Ångstrom ...

Occurring in many human tissues and secretions, lysozyme is presently used to investigate the structure of the bacterial cell By Robert F. Acker & S. E. Hartsell Join Our Community of Science Lovers!

He wanted to find a chemical that could stop bacterial infection. He discovered lysozyme, an enzyme occurring in many body fluids, such as tears. It had a natural antibacterial effect, but not ...

Lysozyme inhibits the growth of bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell wall, causing the contents of the cell to leak out. Because lysozyme limits the growth of bacteria that cause intestinal ...

All chemicals were used as received without further purification. HAuCl 4 (100 mM, 10 µl) was vigorously stirred with lysozyme/ovalbumin (10 mM, 20 µl) in deionized water (0.96 ml) for 5 min ...
