title: Engineering of lysozyme.
abstract: As the most extensively investigated model protein, the protein engineering of lysozyme is described. By utilizing modifications made possible by chemical or gene engineering methods, we can get a better understanding of protein behaviour and we can also improve their properties. The results of the protein engineering of lysozyme are described, which give some ideas for a better understanding of the physiological function of proteins, their stabilization, and how to engineer a novel protein.
