Question

Q1.Lysozyme is a very stable protein with four disulphide bonds. How does this structural feature relate to its function?

I think the answer Lysozyme is a protein found in many human secretions, such as tears, milk, mucus and saliva.Lysozyme protects against bacterial infection by breaking down the carbohydrates in bacterial cell walls, killing them.
lysozyme retains the antibacterial activity and stabileses cross linkages. The presence of disulphide bonds make the protein less suspectible to unfolding when tHey leave the intracellular environment . Disulphide bonds act as ataomic stable to reinforce most favourite conformation and dont change the conformation of protein.
dont get the question and not sure about the answer too, if i am exactly answering the questionn can you please help?

Explanation / Answer

pH is Lysozyme is low. relatively high density of positive charge
