Structural highlights
FunctionLYSC_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 PubMedCrystals of the model protein lysozyme were grown and soaked with the potential drug V(IV)O(acetylacetonato)(2) at 37 degrees C. X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data collected at this temperature reveal that mixed-valence cage-like polyoxidovanadate clusters are formed and covalently bind protein residue side chains at physiological temperature. Formation of Mixed-Valence Cage-Like Polyoxidovanadates at 37 degrees C Upon Reaction of V(IV)O(acetylacetonato)(2) With Lysozyme.,Tito G, Ferraro G, Garribba E, Merlino A Chemistry. 2025 Apr 24:e202500488. doi: 10.1002/chem.202500488.
