Reliability of enzymatic lysozyme determinations.

چکیده
Concentrations of human lysozyme (HL) in serum and urine are usually determined by measuring bacteriolytic activity. Several compounds interfere with the bacteriolytic action of lysozyme. In vitro studies have shown the inhibiting effects of substances like heparin (Kaiser, 1953), hyaluronic acid, DNA, and RNA (Skarnes and Watson, 1955), and aminoglycosides (neomycin, gentamycin, streptomycin) (Eudy and Burrous, 1972). Compounds like protamin and histones activate the lytic action of

Digestibility and Enzymatic Activity in Vitro of Hen Egg White Lysozyme
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the protein digestibility and analyze the residual enzymatic activity of lysozyme. Methods: Protein digestibility was evaluated hydrolyzing the protein with pepsin at pH 1.2, 2.0, and 3.2 during 60, 90, and 120 minutes of incubation. These hydrolysates were analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reversed-phase...
متن کاملMeasurement of urinary oxalate: an enzymatic and an ion chromatographic method compared.
An ion chromatographic and an enzymatic method for determination of oxalic acid in urine were compared on the basis of reliability and practicability. Both methods displayed a within-run imprecision of under 5% and a total imprecision of under 10%. The mean recovery of 0.2 mmol/l sodium oxalate lay close to 100% for both methods. After 80 parallel determinations, both methods produced statistic...
متن کاملStructural Effects on Enzymatic Activity of Bacteriophage T 4 Lysozyme upon Adsorption to Colloidal Silica
approved by : The enzymatic activities of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme mutants with different structural stabilities were measured in the presence and absence of colloidal silica nanoparticles using a spectrophotometric technique and an agar plate bioassay. Spectrophotometric technique is based on the continuous reading of the change in turbidity of a bacterial suspension, while agar plate bioassa...
متن کاملLysozyme turnover in the rat.
Lysozyme turnover in the rat was studied with (125)I-labeled rat lysozyme. It was found that plasma lysozyme has a rapid disappearance rate with a half-life of 75 min. The rate of synthesis was calculated at 3.4 mug/min per 100 g rat. This rate of synthesis was compared with figures from the literature for the turnover rate of neutrophilic granulocytes, and the data were consistent with the con...
متن کاملThe non-enzymatic microbicidal activity of lysozymes.
T4 lysozyme was thought to destroy bacteria by its muramidase activity. However, we demonstrate here that amphipathic helix stretches in the C-terminus of T4 lysozyme mediate its bactericidal and fungistatic activities. In heat-denatured T4 lysozyme, the enzymatic activity is completely abolished but unexpectedly, the antimicrobial functions remain preserved. Small synthetic peptides correspond...
