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] Publication Abstract from PubMedHere, we report results obtained during our experiments to visualize how heat transforms globular protein, lysozyme into building block of beta-amyloids. Light scattering experiments showed formation of lower order associated species around 50-70 degrees C followed by rapid cooperativity to beta-amyloid fibrils. Interestingly, crystallization drops set at higher temperatures either led to aggregates or spherulites. The latter possess an amorphous beta-fibril rich core with thin crystalline needles projecting outwards. Diffraction of the crystalline outgrowths revealed novel dimers and trimers of lysozyme where individual chains were similar to monomer with marginal gain in beta-sheet content.
