Attachment of Metal-chelating Functional Groups to Hen Egg White Lysozyme AN APPROACH TO INTRODUCING HEAVY ATOMS INTO PROTEIN CRYSTALS

TL;DR: It is shown that the picolinamidine group strongly chelates d orbital transition metal ions and both of the derivatives of lysozyme can be induced to form large crystals under suitable conditions, and both possess considerable lytic activity.
