title: Enzymatic properties of a new type of lysozyme isolated from Asterias rubens : comparison with the Nephthys hombergii (annelid) and hen lysozymes.
abstract: The enzymatic properties of Asterias rubens and Nephthys hombergii lysozymes were compared with those of hen egg-white lysozyme. The results allowed to conclude that the Asterias rubens lysozyme was representative of a new lysozyme type. The Nephthys hombergii lysozyme however could be classified among the hen type enzymes with a tendency to exhibit under certain conditions some properties attributed to the goose type lysozymes.
