LYSOZYME FROM BACTERIOPHAGE LAMBDA
OverviewOverview
Like other lysozymes, the bacteriophage lambda lysozyme is involved in the, digestion of bacterial walls. This enzyme is remarkable in that its, mechanism of action is different from the classical lysozyme's mechanism., From the point of view of protein evolution, it shows features of, lysozymes from different classes. The crystal structure of the enzyme in, which all tryptophan residues have been replaced by aza-tryptophan has, been solved by X-ray crystallography at 2.3 A using a combination of, multiple isomorphous replacement, non-crystallographic symmetry averaging, and density modification techniques. There are three molecules in the, asymmetric unit. The characteristic structural elements of lysozymes are, conserved: each molecule is organized in two domains connected by a helix, ...
