Interaction of thyroxine with lysozyme.
L-thyroxine and hen's egg-white lysozyme form an insoluble complex at neutral pH. Previous reports have suggested that the enzyme and hormone alos associate in solution. No evidence for the soluble interaction between thyroxine and lysozyme was obtained by using spectral, enzymatic, and immunological techniques.
