What's the difference between lysozyme and muramidase?
Lysozyme
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Work on humoral responses has focused on lysozyme, the hemagglutinins (especially in the oyster), and the clearance of certain antigens.
(2) This suggested that some of the cell population became metabolically inactive at a very early stage, possibly owing to suboptimal conditions of growth.Glycine, lysozyme and lithium chloride initiated lysis of BCG growth in the aforementioned media 24-48 hours after inoculation.
(3) Recently, we have designed a series of simplified artificial signal sequences and have shown that a proline residue in the signal sequence plays an important role in the secretion of human lysozyme in yeast, presumably by altering the conformation of the signal sequence [Yamamoto, Y., Taniyama, Y., & Kikuchi, M. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 2728-2732].
(4) This cell type often showed supranuclear lysozyme reactivity and apical neutral mucins, sialomucins, and sulphomucins in variable amounts.
(5) The antibacterial effect of lysozyme manufactured in the USSR was studied with respect to 1496 pathogenic strains of different microbial species.
(6) Spectrophotometric tests for the presence of a lysozyme-like principle in the serum also revealed similar trends with a significant loss of enzyme activity in 2,4,5-T-treated insects.
(7) However, when these latter functions were assessed in the presence of a phagocytic stimulus, clofazimine moderately increased both lysozyme release and HMPS activity.
(8) Control mutant S38N has stability essentially the same as that of wild-type lysozyme but hydrogen bonding similar to that of the stabilizing mutant S38D.
(9) Colostrum also suppressed myeloperoxidase activity and lysozyme activity, but not beta-glucuronidase activity in PMN lysates.
(10) All three agonists inhibited methacholine-induced lysozyme output, with salbutamol being 60 times more potent than BRL 37344, and BRL 37344 being approximately 100 times more potent than prenalterol.
(11) Comparison with earlier neutron studies on triclinic lysozyme showed that neither the molecular structure nor the thermal motions were affected significantly by the ethanol.
(12) The different agaroses had variable effects on determinations of normal serum lysozyme, and the results obtained on any given gel agreed with neither those found on other gels nor with independent assay in another system.
(13) To investigate the physical state of water in hydrating biological macro-molecules, the dielectric properties of water in hen egg lysozyme pellets with various moisture contents were studied using the thermally stimulated depolarisation currents technique.
(14) Lysozyme is secreted in a nonpolar fashion at both cell surfaces.
(15) Ficin, carboxypeptidases A and B, lysozyme, and beta-galactosidase had little effect on the infectivity.
(16) Forty-nine biopsy specimens of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 20 biopsy specimens of nasopharyngeal mucosa obtained from non-cancer patients were studied for the presence of T-zone histiocytes (Langerhans' cells and their precursors) and macrophages by immunohistochemical methods with the use of antibodies against S-100 protein and lysozyme (lys), respectively.
(17) For the lysozyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of cell-wall proteoglycan three plausible mechanisms of substrate inhibition can be postulated.
(18) To investigate the ability of a protein to accommodate potentially destabilizing amino acid substitutions, and also to investigate the steric requirements for catalysis, proline was substituted at different sites within the long alpha-helix that connects the amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal domains of T4 lysozyme.
(19) The method is based on sonification of bacterial suspension in the presence of lysozyme and EDTA and subsequent extraction of the pellet with boiling water.
(20) Consistent with the convergence hypothesis, only those sites that specify amino acids in the mature lysozyme are shared uniquely with ruminant lysozyme genes.
