摘要: Using random mutagenesis, we previously obtained K33N mutant lysozyme that showed a large lytic halo on the plate coating Micrococcus luteus. In order to examine effects of mutation enzyme activity, prepared and K33A lysozymes from yeast. It was found activities both were higher than those wild-type based results activity measurements against M. luteus (lytic activity) glycol chitin. Moreover, 3D structures solved by X-ray crystallographic analyses. The side chain K33 in hydrogen bonded with N37 involved substrate-binding region, orientation different lysozyme. These suggest enhancement due an alteration N37. On other hand, less stable Lysozyme may sacrifice its acquire conformational stability at position 33.
