Egg white lysozyme is the major protein of the hen's egg vitelline membrane

Abstract

Lysozyme accounts for 37% of the proteins of the hen's egg vitelline membrane. It can be extracted by salt solutions and purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. There are no differences between the chemical and enzymic properties of egg white and vitelline membrane lysozymes. Vitelline membranes of ovarian eggs do not contain lysozyme. It is thus concluded that lysozyme is localized in the outer layer. Vitelline membranes from fertilized and unfertilized eggs contain the same amount of lysozyme; its percentage decreases after two days of incubation.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
