Structural highlights
FunctionLYSC_CHICK Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Has bacteriolytic activity against M.luteus.[1] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe structure of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme soaked in a periodate solution has been determined to a resolution of 1.8 A. Four high-occupancy periodate positions have been identified on the basis of the anomalous signal of the I atoms. The four periodates exhibit a regular rectangular arrangement on the surface of the lysozyme molecule. No similar regular arrangement was found either in lysozyme crystals soaked in other heavy-atom anions or in other structures from the Protein Data Bank. Depending on their position on the surface of the protein, the periodate ions deviate to a varying extent from ideal octahedral geometry. Regular arrangement of periodates bound to lysozyme.,Ondracek J, Weiss MS, Brynda J, Fiala J, Jursik F, Rezacova P, Jenner LB, Sedlacek J Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2005 Sep;61(Pt 9):1181-9.
