Medchemexpress LLC Lysozyme from chicken egg white | 12650-88-3 | 10 G
Supplier: Medchemexpress LLC HYB223710G
Lysozyme from chicken egg white is a bactericidal enzyme that effectively lyses gram-positive bacteria. It is also used in research related to HIV infection and pulmonary emphysema. This ubiquitous enzyme constitutes approximately 3.4% of the albumen proteins in hen eggs, which is its most abundant source. As a natural antimicrobial, Lysozyme works by hydrolyzing the β(1-4) glycosidic linkage found in the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell lysis. Its bactericidal action is primarily effective against gram-positive bacteria, including pathogens like *Listeria monocytogenes* and certain *Clostridium* species, as well as some spoilage organisms.
