(10 mg/ml) Dissolve solid lysozyme at a concentration of 10 mg/ml in 10 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0) immediately before use. Make sure that the pH of the Tris solution is 8.0 before dissolving the protein. Lysozyme will not work efficiently if the pH of the solution is less than 8.0.

Is lysozyme soluble in water?

Working solution: Lysozyme hydrochloride is readily soluble in water and buffer solutions but insoluble in organic solvents. Aqueous solutions of the hydrochloride (2 mg/ml dist. water) can be stored for several days at 2 to 8° C or at -15 to -25° C for several weeks.

What is lysozyme solution?

Lysozyme is an enzyme used to break down bacterial cell walls to improve protein or nucleic acid extraction efficiency. Lysozymes (muramidases) are a family of enzymes with antimicrobial activity characterized by the ability to damage the cell wall of bacteria.
