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 …

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 …

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 …

Lysozyme is a strongly basic protein, hen egg white its rich source. It can be obtained on a
commercial scale as a preparation of biological activity. Lysozyme is known as a hydrolase …

The structure and antimicrobial function of hen egg white lysozyme was investigated by
means of thermal denaturation at 80° C (pH 7.2), which leads to irreversible denaturation …

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 …

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 …

The use of lysozyme as a food preservative and the factors affecting lysozyme activity
(temperature, chemicals, processing and complexes) is reviewed. Lysozyme inhibits 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 …
