Stability of Proteins Small Globular Proteins

TL;DR: The chapter discusses the stability of proteins and presents the results obtained on small compact globular proteins, which represent one single cooperative system, and the temperature-induced changes in protein, denaturational and predenaturational changes inprotein, thermodynamics of protein unfolding, and thermodynamic properties of protein.

What's new in lysozyme research? Always a model system, today as yesterday.

TL;DR: A review of the main achievements realized in the lysozyme research field since the meeting held in 1972 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of this enzyme is presented in this article.

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Supersaturated Lysozyme Solutions and Associated Precipitate Formation/Crystallization

TL;DR: The phase boundaries for metastable liquid-liquid separation in supersaturated hen egg white lysozyme solutions with 3, 5, and 7% (wlv) NaCl at pH= 4.5 and protein concentrations c between 40 and 400 mg/ml were determined using cloud point determinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relative effectiveness of various ions on the solubility and crystal growth of lysozyme.

TL;DR: Lysozyme thiocyanate and nitrate crystals belong to the monoclinic system, whereas all the others have a tetragonal lattice, and SCN- precipitates and crystallizes lysozyme at low concentration, whereas sulfate is ineffective even at high concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the crystallization of proteins.

TL;DR: Quasi-elastic light scattering was used to monitor the size and shape distribution of small aggregates in a model system (lysozyme) during the pre-nucleation stage to predict whether crystals or an amorphous precipitate would result.

Direct crystallization of lysozyme from egg white and some crystalline salts of lysozyme

TL;DR: Crystallization was effected from acid solutions of purified material containing approximately 5 per cent salt, and it was also accomplished in the isoelectric region as a result of markedly lower solubility of the crystalline product in that region.

Structure Of Lysozyme: A Fourier Map of the Electron Density at 6 Å Resolution obtained by X-ray Diffraction

TL;DR: Structure of Lysozyme: A Fourier Map of the Electron Density at 6 A Resolution obtained by X-ray Diffraction as mentioned in this paper. But this is not the case for the structure of the enzyme.

X-ray analysis of structure of human lysozyme at 6 A resolution.

TL;DR: The tertiary structures of human and hen egg white lysozyme are very similar and a comparison of the two has provided some interesting results.
