Key Features and Details
Lysozyme
| SKU | 02100834-CF |
| Alternate Names | Muramidase; Mucopeptide N-acetylmuramoylhydrolase |
| Application Notes | Lysozyme has been used for lysing E. coli and Streptomycetes for extraction purposes such as extracting group specific antigen. It would appear that lysozyme may act as a germinative agent of bacterial spores. The enzyme is often used for lysing bacterial cells by hydrolyzing the peptidoglycan present in the cell walls. Used to prepare spheroplasts. |
| Base Catalog Number | 100834 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | Lysozyme hydrolyzes β(1→4) linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. Gram-positive cells are quite susceptible to this hydrolysis as their cell walls have a high proportion of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria are less susceptible due to the presence of an outer membrane and a lower proportion of peptidoglycan. However, these cells may be hydrolyzed in the presence of EDTA that chelates metal ions in the outer bacterial membrane. |
