Talk:Lysozyme

message: What is the mechanism of action of lysozymes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.193.89 (talk • contribs) 
::Perhaps you should read the article first: "This enzyme functions by attacking peptidoglycan by hydrolyzing the bond that connects N-acetylmuramic acid with carbon four of N-acetylglucosamine." These substances are part of the bacterial cell wall, and lysozyme therefore affects the integrity of the cell wall. JFW | T@lk 16:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I am rather new to editing policies in wikipedia, but I don't think the discussion or talk page is an appropriate venue for asking questions. If you feel the mechanism of action is missing, start a new section on "mechanism" and complain that the explanation is not good enough--Chibibrain (talk) 06:34, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The connection expressed in the line "Most of the bacteria affected by lysozyme are not pathogenic. In some cases, lysozyme is a primary reason these organisms do not become pathogenic." is not clear. A brief explanation of how lysozyme prevents pathogenicity, or a link to the mechanism, would be usefull. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.10.158.247 (talk • contribs)  20:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Effect of lysozyme on pathogenicity

message: We need a section that details lysozyme's use in industry and foods - it's a common preservative (E1105) in the grated cheese you can buy on the non-refrigerated aisle in the store.  What do you guys think?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.223.101 (talk) 00:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Industrial use of lysozymes

message: Removed from the article:
Lysozyme is commonly referred to as the "body's own antibiotic" since it kills bacteria.
...as the opening sentence of the article. Seems misguided and false, unless, anyone can provide a rationale? 82.16.7.63 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My recollection is that that such a statement was already known to be hopelessly simple-minded when I first read about lysozyme in the 1970s. Athel cb (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Which pdb structure is the best representative of lysozyme?  Is 133l just alphabetically the first in the list?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.64.102 (talk) 00:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: is a reasonably good structure (Res = 1.8 Å). There are higher resolution structures available (e.g.,  Res = 1.1 Å), but given the the figure does not display side chains and the figure itself is relatively low resolution (500 × 500 pixels), I don't think it would matter.  At the resolution of the figure shown in this article, all the lysozyme crystal structures would look virtually identical.  Cheers.  Boghog2 (talk) 16:03, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: generic stuff human protein

message: The infobox is taking too much space compared to the text. It seems pedantic to enumerate every PDB structure for lysozymes. It may be better to just include the most important ones, that is, most relevant for human or mammal biochemistry. The reader, if interested, may then navigate to a complete list of RCSB PDB structures, contained in its own article, if this type of list making is tolerated on wikipedia.--Chibibrain (talk) 06:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
