Egg white lysozyme
-
One-electron oxidation of six different c-type lysozymes from hen egg white, turkey egg white, human milk, horse milk, camel stomach and tortoise was studied by gamma-and pulse-radiolysis.In the first step, one tryptophan side chain is oxidized to indolyl free radical, which is produced quantitatively.As shown already, the indolyl radical subse-quently oxidizes a tyrosine side chain to the phenoxy radical in an intramolecular reaction.However this reaction is not total and its stoichiometry depends on the protein.Rate constants also vary between proteins, from 120Æs )1 to 1000Æs )1 at pH 7.

The interaction of antibodies (Abs) with protein antigens (Ags) of different size, such as hen egg white lysozyme, ovalbumin, and bovine serum albu-min, was examined using analytical ultracentrifugation, electrospray ioniza-tion time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and surface plasmon resonance in order to estimate regional and segmental Ab flexibility.

The role of the two disulfide bonds (Cys4–Cys60 and Cys18–Cys29) in the activity and stability of goose-type (G-type) lysozyme was investigated using ostrich egg-white lysozyme as a model. Each of the two disulfide bonds was deleted separately or simultaneously by substituting both Cys residues with either Ser or Ala.

We have reported previously that the calcium-depleted form of bovine a-lactalbumin (apoa-LA) interacts with hen egg-white lysozyme (LYS) to form spherical supramolecular structures. These supramolecular structures contain an equimolar ratio of the two proteins. We further explore here the organization of these structures.

Prediction and understanding of the folding and stability of the 3D struc-ture of proteins is still a challenge. The different atomic interactions, such as non polar contacts and hydrogen bonding, are known but their exact relative weights and roles when contributing to protein folding and stability are not identified.
