Depending upon the source, here a few examples:
In humans: Lysozyme C, 148 aa; Lysozyme G, 142 aa; Lysosymes D1 and D2, 194 aa.
In bovines: Lysozyme C, 147 aa.
Lysozyme from fruit fly: 140 aa.
Lysozyme from mouse: 148 aa.
There is a wide variety of isoforms among species.

What do similarities between amino acid sequences indicate?
Similar amino acid sequences can indicate similar protein structure and function. Hydrophobic residues will orient the same way in solution as will polar residues. Charged amino acids are commonly found within or near the active sites enzymes. Similar amino acid sequence can also indicate a similar evolutionary origin known as convergent evolution. This is the same for unique proteins that evolved from a common ancestral protein which is known as divergent evolution.
In the tertiary structure the amino acids on one chain link together with amino acids on the same chain or other chains the bonds are formed between what parts of the amino acid residues?
The bond forms between the N and C terminus through a dehydration reaction releasing water.
Are proteins phosphorus?
No phosphorous is an element and cant be a protein. Proteins rather don't have phosphorous primarily in their amino acid or backbone. But after the protein synthesis, they can be phosphorylated (addition of phosphate) to their residues by kinases.
What Is protine?
I believe you meant to say what is a protein. It is a large biological molecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
Can tryosine is a aliphatic amino acid?
aromatic amino acid
How many amino acid is present in lysozyme?
129 aa residues long
What amino acid residues are found in abundance in casein?
If not mistaken, it is proline.
How is depeptides formed?
a peptide composed of two amino-acid residues.
What happens if the amino acids are oversupplied?
the body converts amino acid residues to glycogen or fat
How is depeptide bond form?
a peptide composed of two amino-acid residues.
A polypeptide can best be described as?
Short sequence of amino acids. Insulin is a polypeptide of about 53 [amino-acid] residues; it is like Pluto - is it a protein or not?
What is molecular formula of proteins?
Proteins are large biological molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acid residues.
Is thyrogine a amino acid?
i think you mean..thyrogen? Thyrogen is comprised of two non-covalently linked subunits, an alpha subunit of 92 amino acid residues containing two N-linked glycosylation sites and a beta subunit of 118 residues containing one N-linked glycosylation site. The amino acid sequence of thyrotropin alfa is identical to that of human pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone.
What is the difference between amino acid and amino acid residue?
There really isn't any difference and the terms are used essentially interchangeably, though saying "residue" implies that it's part of a larger structure (and hence is missing a few atoms compared to a complete amino acid molecule).
What has the author John A Tavender written?
John A. Tavender has written: 'The synthesis of fibre-forming polyamides containing a-amino acid residues'

The number of nucleotides required to specify an amino acid is?
Three nucleotides are required for an amino acid. These nucleotides are an amine, carbolic acid, and a side chain specific to the amino acid.
