Investigating the Particle Size, Molecular Weight and Thermal Denaturation of Lysozyme

2021-02-22Application Note

Lysozyme is a commonly used enzyme for lysing Gram-positive bacteria. The comparatively simple structure and low cost make it a popular model in much current biological research.


In this application note, with the BeNano 90 Zeta, the particle size of lysozyme was measured and the molecular weight of lysozyme was calculated through the empirical Mark-Houwink equation. The study on the lysozyme denaturation at high temperature has been successfully carried out, by utilizing the precise temperature-control system of the BeNano 90 Zeta.
