Contents

Crystal structure of cross-linked tetragonal hen egg white lysozyme soaked wiht 5mM [Ru(benzene)Cl2]2

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]

About this Structure
