A team of scientists has discovered that applying pressure to a protein found in egg whites and tears can generate electricity. The researchers observed that crystals of lysozyme, a model protein that ...

Optimizing the conditions in which crystallization takes place helps to guarantee good quality products. Using real-time, in-process analysis of the crystallization process can confirm crystal form ...

A team of Irish scientists has discovered that applying pressure to a protein found in egg whites and tears can generate electricity. The researchers from the Bernal Institute, University of Limerick ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

Scientists in Ireland have discovered that a protein found in tears, saliva, and egg whites can generate electricity. The protein, called lysozyme, can produce a small electrical charge when pressure ...

Lysozyme is abundant in secretions such as saliva, human milk, tears and mucus, and is also known as N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase or muramidase. It is an antimicrobial enzyme that is generated by ...
