Schematic representation of LysMP domain structures. A The LysMP conserved domain representation depicting endolysin active domain (EAD) and cell wall binding domain (CBD) joined by a linker. B Three-dimensional model structure predicted by ESMFold [22]. C The SDS-PAGE gel of the purified recombinant LysMP. Marker (M; Precision Plus Protein Standard; Bio-Rad), whole cell lysate of induced LysMP (S), Flow through (FT) during IMAC purification, wash (W), and Elution (E) is the eluted protein after IMAC purification of carboxyl-terminal 6 × histidine-tagged LysMP (35.9 kDa)
