1 In this study the effect of spermidine (Spd), spermine (Spm), and glycerol on glycation, structure and function of lysozyme (LZ), as an extra-cellular protein, by different techniques is investigated. Glycerol lysozyme Homo sapiens
2 In this study the effect of spermidine (Spd), spermine (Spm), and glycerol on glycation, structure and function of lysozyme (LZ), as an extra-cellular protein, by different techniques is investigated. Glycerol lysozyme Homo sapiens
3 LZ is incubated with or without glucose (50 or 100 mM) in the absence or presence of Spd/Spm/glycerol at 37 C up to 16 weeks. Glycerol lysozyme Homo sapiens
4 In contrast, glycerol inhibits the LZ glycation and prevents the large changes on its structure and function. Glycerol lysozyme Homo sapiens
5 Polyamines also directly bind to LZ, increase its positive charges and hence induce more glycation; more conformational changes, oligomerization and its inactivation in the presence of glucose, but glycerol affect the protein environment and preserve protein from these harmful effects. Glycerol lysozyme Homo sapiens
