Lysozyme is abundant in secretions such as saliva, human milk, tears and mucus, and is also known as N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase or muramidase. It is an antimicrobial enzyme that is generated by ...

Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of a human antimicrobial protein has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs, demonstrating the potential for food ...

A study reveals that lysozyme (LYZ) plays a pivotal role in age-related blood vessel inflammation by influencing gut bacteria. It shows that administering LYZ orally can restore a healthy gut balance ...

An instrument which combines Raman spectroscopy with dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be used to study lysozyme’s unfolding and refolding processes under thermal stress conditions. Through the ...

Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of lysozyme, a human antimicrobial protein, has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs and may one day be used to ...
