Summary
1. A series of inorganic and organic compounds was tested in order to determine their effect on the lytic properties of lysozyme.
2. Under the experimental conditions presented, the following materials were active inhibitors of lysozyme: sodium alkyl sulfates, decyl benzene sodium sulfonate, N (acylcolaminoformylmethyl pyridinium) chloride, a synthetic zeolite, an activated carbon, and a hydrated aluminum silicate (Benotonite).
3. A combination of Bentonite, a synthetic zeolite, and polyamine resin displayed a synergistic action as lysozyme inhibitors.
