title: Complete amino acid sequence of ostrich (Struthio camelus) egg-white lysozyme, a goose-type lysozyme.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence (185 amino acid residues) of the good-type lysozyme from the egg white of ostrich (Struthio camelus) has been determined from the study of tryptic and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease peptides as well as of CNBr and BNPS-skatole fragments. A slight sequence homology between the goose-type and chicken-type lysozymes has been observed.
