title: Keratin sponge: immobilization of lysozyme.
abstract: A porous wool keratin sponge was used for immobilization of lysozyme, a model bioactive substance and was demonstrated to be a unique biomaterial in terms that the activity of lysozyme linked to the sponge through disulfide bond was gradually released, while lysozyme through thioether bond was stably maintained.
