Crystal structure of hen egg-white lysozyme
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 PubMedSerial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) has revolutionized atomic-resolution structural investigation by expanding applicability to micrometer-sized protein crystals, even at room temperature, and by enabling dynamics studies. However, reliable crystal-carrying media for SFX are lacking. Here we introduce a grease-matrix carrier for protein microcrystals and obtain the structures of lysozyme, glucose isomerase, thaumatin and fatty acid-binding protein type 3 under ambient conditions at a resolution of or finer than 2 A. Grease matrix as a versatile carrier of proteins for serial crystallography.,Sugahara M, Mizohata E, Nango E, Suzuki M, Tanaka T, Masuda T, Tanaka R, Shimamura T, Tanaka Y, Suno C, Ihara K, Pan D, Kakinouchi K, Sugiyama S, Murata M, Inoue T, Tono K, Song C, Park J, Kameshima T, Hatsui T, Joti Y, Yabashi M, Iwata S Nat Methods. 2014 Nov 10. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.3172.
