Application
Lysozyme from chicken egg white has been used for the extraction of genomic DNA from bacterial cells.[1] It has been used as an external standard for MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) mass analysis.
Enzyme breaks down the cell walls of bacteria; used to prepare spheroplasts.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lysozyme hydrolyzes β(1→4) linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. Gram-positive cells are quite susceptible to this hydrolysis as their cell walls have a high proportion of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria are less susceptible due to the presence of an outer membrane and a lower proportion of peptidoglycan. However, these cells may be hydrolyzed in the presence of EDTA that chelates metal ions in the outer bacterial membrane.
The enzyme is active over a broad pH range (6.0 to 9.0). At pH 6.2, maximal activity is observed over a wider range of ionic strengths (0.02 to 0.100 M) than at pH 9.2 (0.01 to 0.06 M).

I have ordered this product and stored in -70 degree C. But there is no dilution preparation method available here. Can you please tell me hot to prepare that.
1 answer-
This product may be prepared in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 at 10 mg/mL. The material is also soluble in water at 10 mg/mL. Aqueous solutions are stable for at least one month when stored at 2-8 °C. Please see the link below to review additional information available in the product datasheet:

What's the best buffer and pH for the preparation of lysozyme stock solution, and can I incubate it at room temperature for 1 day?
1 answer-
This product can be resuspended in 350 µL of STET buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, with 0.1 M NaCl,
1 mM EDTA, and 5% [w/v] TRITON® X-100). The enzyme is active over a broad pH range (6.0 to 9.0). At pH 6.2, maximal activity is observed over a wider range of ionic strengths (0.02 to 0.100 M) than at pH 9.2 (0.01 to 0.06 M).During this assay, the end-user should Incubate E. coli (strain ATCC 37017) bearing the pBR322 plasmid overnight in Terrific Broth (Cat. No. T0918) with 25 µg/mL tetracycline (Cat. No. T3383) and 25 µg/mL ampicillin (Cat. No. A9518). The
optimal pH for E. coli cell lysis is 8.0 ± 0.1.16For more information please read through the product data sheet: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/938/215/l6876dat-ms.pdf
