CTAB is a cationic detergent. It is generally considered to be less denaturing than SDS. It is typically used when it is desired to maintain enzymatic activity. It is also typically used in protein refolding.
Yes, lysozyme is a protein.
basically...
The antimicrobial enzyme found in tears is called lysozyme. It helps to protect the eyes from bacterial infections by breaking down the cell walls of certain bacteria.
Saliva contains lysozyme, which is an antibacterial enzyme that helps protect the mouth from bacterial infections.
The normal level of lysozyme in saliva ranges from 1 to 5 mg/mL. Lysozyme is an enzyme that helps protect against bacterial infections by breaking down bacterial cell walls.
Lysozyme and mucous
Antibacterial properties
lysozyme
Lysozyme (or muramidase) acts against peptidoglycan, as that found in bacterial cell walls but not in viruses. It stresses and breaks the glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, two alternating monosaccharides of the sugar component of peptidoglycan.
Yes, sweat does contain lysozyme. Lysozyme is an enzyme found in various body fluids, including sweat, tears, and saliva, where it plays a role in protecting against bacterial infections by breaking down bacterial cell walls.
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.
