The 12 pages that link to Lysozyme, each with the reason it gives.

• PeptidoglycanRelated: It attacks the glycan backbone and helps innate defenses damage bacterial walls.

• Bacterial cell wallRelated: It attacks the wall directly and occurs in secretions such as tears and saliva.

• SalivaRelated: This antimicrobial enzyme is one of saliva’s innate defenses.

• Cell wallRelated: Lysozyme can damage bacterial walls and occurs in secretions such as tears and saliva.

• Alexander FlemingBroader topic: Fleming discovered this antibacterial enzyme in 1922 while studying nasal mucus.

• Egg whiteBroader topic: It is one of the proteins that helps protect the egg's contents from microbes.

• CellulaseCompared with: It hydrolyzes a different structural polymer and serves a distinct biological function.

• Bacterial cell envelopeRelated: It attacks a structural polymer of the bacterial wall.

• Egg proteinsBroader topic: This smaller egg-white protein has antimicrobial activity and participates in protein interactions.

• N-AcetylglucosamineRelated: Its action on N-acetylglucosamine-containing cell walls underlies antimicrobial uses.

• Arieh WarshelBroader topic: Warshel used simulations of lysozyme to investigate the origins of enzymatic rate enhancement.

• SpheroplastRelated: It can digest peptidoglycan to generate wall-deficient cells under suitable conditions.
