rLysozyme™ Solution contains a highly purified and stabilized recombinant lysozyme that can be used for lysis of Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetylmuramide linkages in bacterial cell walls. The specific activity of rLysozyme (1700 KU/mg) for E. coli lysis is 250 times greater than that of chicken egg white lysozyme. rLysozyme is optimally active at physiological pH.
