A.  aThe amino acid sequence of equine milk lysozyme.h[electronic resource]  c1985  aComparative study.  aAbstract: The amino acid sequence of equine milk lysozyme has been elucidated. The study involves the determination of the sequence of the N-terminal region of the whole protein, cyanogen bromide fragments, tryptic and chymotryptic peptides and fragments produced by chemical cleavage after tryptophan residues. The protein consists of a single chain of 129 amino acid residues and has a Mr of 14647. While equine milk lysozyme has the essential features of a c(chick)-type lysozyme, there is only 51% sequence homology with human milk lysozyme and 50% with domestic hen egg white lysozyme. Some of the implications of the large number of differences are discussed.  aAmino acid sequences  aBirds  aEnzymology  aFemales  aHorses  aHumans  aMammals  aMare milk  aMetabolism  aEquine milk  aHuman milk  aMuramidase  aOvum  aSpecies specificity1 aSHAW, D.
