Table 2.

The dependence of the enzymatic activity yield of hen egg-white lysozyme on the time of refolding/reoxidation in 99% (vol/vol) glycerol

Time Refolding yield, %*
 1 min <0.2
15 min 0.78  ±  0.35
30 min 1.1  ±  0.3
60 min 1.6  ±  0.2
12 hr 8.4  ±  0.4
40 hr 12  ±  1
60 hr 12  ±  1

For experimental conditions, see the legend to Table 1

See the corresponding footnote to Table 1, except that all experiments were done at least in triplicate. 

Essentially the same refolding yield was obtained when the refolding/reoxidation of lysozyme was carried out at 37°C; however, upon increasing the temperature to 50°C, the refolding yield dropped by a factor of 3.
