Reindarstellung und Charakterisierung des für die Lyse T2-infizierter Zellen verantwortlichen Enzyms

Abstract

T2-infected cells of E. coli B synthesize an enzyme whose role it is eventually to lyse the cell from within, whereby the new crop of T2-phage is released from it. Procedures for isolating this enzyme in pure form are described. The enzyme is characterized as a lysozyme. It has a molecular weight of 15 200.
