Mode of interaction between lysozyme and the other proteins of the hen's egg vitelline membrane

Abstract

Salt solutions and charged detergents are efficient solubilizing agents for ovovitelline membrane lysozyme. Reassociation experiments with chemically modified lysozymes indicate that positively charged amino acid residues of lysozyme (the epsilon-amino group of lysine and the guanidino group of arginine) are involved in the interaction with other proteins of the vitelline membrane. Exogenous proteins are adsorbed to lysozyme-free vitelline membranes, only if they have a high pI, comparable to that of lysozyme. It is concluded that the lysozyme-ovovitelline membrane interaction is predominantly ionic. An ovomucin-lysozyme complex is postulated as the major component of the outer layer of the membrane.

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.
