Mechanism of Reduced Glutathione Induced Lysozyme Defolding and Molecular Self-Assembly.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The distinctive assembly behaviors of lysozyme (Lys) feature prominently in food, materials, biomedicine, and other fields and have intrigued many scholars. Although our previous work suggested that reduced glutathione (GSH) could induce lysozyme to form interfacial films at the air/water interface, the underlying mechanism is still obscure. In the present study, the effects of GSH on the disulfide bond and protein conformation of lysozyme were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. The findings demonstrated that GSH was able to break the disulfide bond in lysozyme molecules through the sulfhydryl/disulfide bond exchange reaction, thereby unraveling the lysozyme. The β-sheet structure of lysozyme expanded significantly, while the contents of α-helix and β-turn decreased. Furthermore, the interfacial tension and morphology analysis supported that the unfolded lysozyme tended to arrange macroscopic interfacial films at the air/water interface. It was found that pH and GSH concentrations had an impact on the aforementioned processes, with higher pH or GSH levels having a positive effect. This paper on the exploration of the mechanism of GSH-induced lysozyme interface assembly and the development of lysozyme-based green coatings has better instructive significance.
