摘要：
Insect lysozyme from Manduca sexta (MS-lys) was overexpressed in E coli and refolded to obtain active protein. Recombinant MS-lys presented a globular structure, with an alpha-helical content of 57% as assessed by circular dichroism spectroscopy. Light scattering studies showed that in solution MS-lys has a quasi-monodisperse size distribution, with a rod-like structure similar to nucleation clusters reported in egg lysozyme pre-crystallization stages. These results show that MS-lys is an excellent candidate for crystallization, folding and denaturation. studies.
