The amino acid sequence of reeves' pheasant lysozyme was analyzed. Carboxymethylated lysozyme was digested with trypsin and resulting peptides were analyzed using the DABITC/PITC double coupling manual Edman method. The established amino acid sequence had seven substitutions, Tyr3, Leu15, His41, His77, Ser79, Arg102, and Asn121, compared with hen egg-white lysozyme. Ser79 was the first found in a bird lysozyme. A substitution in the active site was found in position 102 which has been considered to participate in the substrate binding at subsites A-C.
