Abstract excerpt
The genetic modification of lysozyme was attempted to improve the bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli. The different lengths of hydrophobic peptides were attached to the C-terminus of the hen egg white lysozyme to investigate the most effective length of the hydrophobic p...
