Claims
- 1. A new composition of matter called Xeronine formed by the process comprising:
- obtaining source materials selected from the group consisting of plant bacteria and animal alkaloid producing lipophilic extracts, combining lysozymes with the extracts to produce a mixture, controlling the concentration level of free calcium ions in the mixture to produce an optimum concentration level which activates the lysozymes, and controlling the pH of the mixture of the range of about 3.5-5.0 to react to the extracts with the activitated lysozymes to produce the active substance xeronine, having a molecular weight between 413 and 518, having four forms, three of which convert to a fourth form irreversibly by manipulation of temperature and pH, adapted to be adhered to specific proteins as a modifier of rigidity of a consequential wide range of effects.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 having a form generated by heating at a temperature of about 60 C. and a pH of about 1.5-2.0 for 24-48 hours.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 having a form generated by heating at a temperature of about 80-90 C. and a pH of about 9.5 for 10 minutes.
- 4. The composition of claim 2 wherein the form is altered by further warming and increasing the pH to 12.
- 5. The composition of claim 3 wherein the form is altered by further warming and increasing the pH to 12.
