LYSOZYME, a bacteriolytic enzyme discovered in 1922 by Sir Alexander Fleming, 2 is found in a number of biologic fluids. The enzyme is a basic protein of low molecular weight that lyses ...

THE biological significance of lysozyme is not yet fully established. Its properties suggest that it has a role in immunism against bacterial infections. Lysozyme also seems to show antiviral ...
