Hen egg-white lysozyme structure determined at room temperature by in- situ diffraction and SAD phasing in ChipX

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]
