Abstract
The complete amino acid sequence of Embden goose ( Anser anser) egg-white lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) has been proposed. The structure was established by comparing the citraconylated tryptic peptides of Embden goose lysozyme with the corresponding peptides from the black swan goose-type lysozyme. Those peptides which differed in amino acid composition were subjected to sequence analysis; the alignment of the tryptic peptides was achieved by analogy with other goose-type lysozymes. Embden goose lysozyme is a single polypeptide chain of 185 amino acids. It closely resembles the goose-type lysozymes from the black swan and the ostrich, differing in 6 and 30 residues, respectively.
