Lysine (symbol Lys or K) [2] is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.Lysine contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH + 3 form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form when the lysine is dissolved in water at physiological pH), and a side chain (CH 2) 4 NH 2 (which ...
Endoproteinase Lys-C is a protease that cleaves proteins on the C-terminal side of lysine residues. This enzyme is naturally found in the bacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes and is commonly used in protein sequencing. [1] [2] Lys-C activity is optimal in the pH range 7.0 - 9.0. [3]
Lysine is commonly used as a treatment; however, in a 2015 systematic review, the authors investigated all clinical trials with cats as well as in vitro studies and concluded that lysine supplementation is likely not effective for the treatment or prevention of feline herpesvirus 1 infection. [15]
Double-stranded DNA phage lysins tend to lie within the 25 to 40 kDa range in terms of size. A notable exception is the streptococcal PlyC endolysin, which is 114 kDa. PlyC is not only the biggest and most potent lysin, but also structurally unique since it is composed of two different gene products, PlyCA and PlyCB, with a ratio of eight PlyCB subunits for each PlyCA in its active conformation.

Through manipulation of rodent diets, Rose was able to show that ten amino acids are essential for rats: lysine, tryptophan, histidine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, and arginine, in addition to threonine. Rose's later work showed that eight amino acids are essential for adult human beings, with histidine also being ...
In enzymology, a lysine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. L-lysine + NAD + 1,2-didehydropiperidine-2-carboxylate + NH 3 + NADH + H +. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-lysine and NAD +, whereas its 4 products are 1,2-didehydropiperidine-2-carboxylate, NH 3, NADH, and H +.
β-Lysine (3,6-diaminohexanoic acid [1]) is an amino acid produced by platelets during coagulation and is directly antibacterial by causing lysis of many Gram positive bacteria by acting as a cationic detergent.
