High Purity Recombinant Lysozyme Powder For Antimicrobial Applications 9001-63-2

High purity recombinant lysozyme for antimicrobial applications

Description

Lysozyme (LYZ) is a small protein with 14.5 kDa molecular weight and a pI (isoelectric point) of 11.4, contains 129 amino acid. Lysozyme is a potent antimicrobial enzyme, by catalytic hydrolysis of their cell wall peptidoglycan, which contains sugars and amino acids. The sugar component consists of A-(1, 4)-linked N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid and this bond is broken by lysozyme. This compromises the bacterial cell wall and causes the bacterium to burst under the high internal osmotic pressure.

Healthgen Biotech uses State-of-the-art platform called Oryz^HiExp, having high capacity to express proteins and peptides in the rice grain. The platform uses rice endosperm cells as a bioreactor to specifically and highly express various recombinant proteins and small peptides. The platform has such advantages, free of animal prions or virus from human plasma, more biological safety, environment friendly compared with other bioreactors. The recombinant lysozyme (OsrhLYZ) is derived from rice endosperm, is animal component free and has very good batch consistency.

OsrhLYZ has high antimicrobial bioactivity, has non-toxicity in combination with other synergic compounds. In addtion, OsrhLYZ is thermally stable, with a melting point reaching up to 72 ℃ at pH 5.0. Even in a large range of pH (6-9) OsrhLYZ can survive. OsrhLYZ always be used in the antimicrobial applications, such as:

• Health food--- can be added to baby formula (to aid digestibility) and gastrointestinal treatments for the elderly to preservative against the spoiling microorganisms.
• Skin Care--- can be used cure and prevent acne and bed sores in skin care products, as well as in dental and oral conditions.
• Food preservatives---can be a reliable and trusted preservative for fruits & vegetables, seafood & meats, wines, to naturally inhibit the growth of many spoilage organisms, increase a healthy shelf life and augment food safety.
• Soft contact lenses---OsrhLYZ can freely move through the lens, and antibacterial function can reduce the bacterial adhesion, increase the wettability and comfort.

The recombinant lysozyme (OsrhLYZ) is animal component free and has very good batch consistency, which has many advantages. These include:

• elimination or reduction of the potential risk and other unknown factors;
• stable supply and high quality;
• animal component free and environment friendly;
• very good batch consistency and avoid the batch difference.
