STRUCTURE OF HEN EGG-WHITE LYSOZYME

Overview

Hen egg-white lysozyme has been crystallized at slightly alkaline pH using, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) as the precipitant. The crystals are nearly, isomorphous to crystals grown at acidic pH using sodium chloride as the, precipitant. However, the growth kinetics differ markedly between the two, conditions. The major reason for this is a molecule of MPD that binds, tightly in between two lysozyme molecules and favors the growth of the, crystals along the crystallographic c direction over growth perpendicular, to it.

About this Structure

1DPX is a Single protein structure of sequence from Gallus gallus with CL as ligand. Active as Lysozyme, with EC number 3.2.1.17 Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
