title: Insect lysozymes from three species of Lepidoptera: their structural relatedness to the C (chicken) type lysozyme.
abstract: Sequence studies of the N-terminal halves of the lysozymes isolated from Bombyx mori, Gallera mellonella and Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera) allow us to classify these enzymes among the c (chicken) type lysozymes.
