Reduced and Cys → Ala mutated lysozymes refold to more than native helicity in lipids.
Refolded helical segments mostly insert in lipid bilayer, sheet parts on surface.
Native lysozyme has only small secondary structure change with lipid vesicles.
Reduced lysozyme refolding kinetics in lipid vesicles are faster than renaturation.
Kinetics indicate that lipid interaction mechanism differs from that with surfactants.
