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
The interactions of cisplatin and its analogues, transplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, with hen egg white lysozyme were analysed through ESI mass spectrometry, and the resulting metallodrug-protein adducts identified; the X-ray crystal structure of the cisplatin lysozyme derivative, solved at 1.9 A resolution, reveals selective platination of imidazole Nepsilon of His15.
