Structural highlights
Function
[LYSC_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 PubMed
Crystallophores are lanthanide complexes that act as powerful auxiliary for protein crystallography due to their strong nucleating and phasing effects. To get first insights on the mechanisms behind nucleation induced by Crystallophore, we systematically identified various elaborated networks of supramolecular interactions between Tb-Xo4 and subset of 6 protein structures determined by X-ray diffraction in complex with terbium-Crystallophore (Tb-Xo4). Such interaction mapping analyses demonstrate the versatile binding behavior of the Crystallophore and pave the way to a better understanding of its unique properties.
