Keratin sponge: Immobilization of lysozyme

A porous wool keratin sponge was used for immobilization of lysozyme, a model bioactive substance and was demonstrated to be a unique biomaterial in terms that the activity of lysozyme linked to the sponge through disulfide bond was gradually released, while lysozyme through thioether bond was stabl...

More Information
Summary:A porous wool keratin sponge was used for immobilization of lysozyme, a model bioactive substance and was demonstrated to be a unique biomaterial in terms that the activity of lysozyme linked to the sponge through disulfide bond was gradually released, while lysozyme through thioether bond was stably maintained.
