Lysozymes are hydrolytic enzymes characterized by their ability to cleave the β-(1, 4)-
glycosidic bonds in peptidoglycan, a major structural component of the bacterial cell wall …

Due to the concern of consumers about the presence of synthetic preservatives, researchers
and food manufacturers have recently conducted extensive research on the limited use of …

Background Lysozyme is present in most organisms in the world, in which it performs highly
important protective biological functions. The native form of this enzyme is a monomer that …

The purpose of this review is to describe the antibacterial properties and mode of action of
lysozyme against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and to provide insight in the …

Lysozyme is a~ 14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and
mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate …

In recent years much attention and interest have been directed toward application of natural
antimicrobial agents in foods. Some naturally occurring proteins such as lactoperoxidase …

Lysozymes are a class of enzymes with antimicrobial properties that are widely found across
the animal kingdom as a natural bactericide. Currently, lysozyme from the egg white of …

Lysozyme, a type of glycanhydrolase, hydrolyzes the β-1, 4-linkages between N-
acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine residues in the peptidoglycan of bacterial …

Lysozyme, an important bacteriostatic protein, is widely distributed in nature. It is generally
believed that the high efficiency of lysozyme in inhibiting gram-positive bacteria is caused by …

Dependency of the antimicrobial activity on the conformation of lysozme was examined by
the means of gradual thermal inactivation at neutral pH and different temperatures. We …
