X-ray crystallography and the amino acid sequence of lysozyme

A R Rees et al. Biochem J. 1972 Dec.

Abstract

Certain parts of the amino acid sequence of hen's-egg lysozyme were reinvestigated. The parts in question are those in which X-ray-crystallographic data were used to decide between the two reported versions of the sequence that were based on chemical data. We conclude that the X-ray evidence, in the main, led to the correct choice between the sequences.
