Enzyme Information

3.2.1.17
Lysozyme.
based on mapping to UniProt P03706
Hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl- D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins.
-!- Cf. EC 3.2.1.14.
4.2.2.n2
Peptidoglycan lytic endotransglycosylase.
based on mapping to UniProt P03706
Endolytic cleavage of the (1->4)-beta-glycosidic linkage between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in peptidoglycan with concomitant formation of a 1,6-anhydrobond in the MurNAc residue.
