Lysozyme’s Target: Unveiling Bacteria It Eradicates!
The enzyme lysozyme, widely researched at institutions like the Pasteur Institute, targets peptidoglycan, a crucial component in bacterial cell walls. Gram-positive bacteria possess a thick peptidoglycan layer, making them particularly susceptible to lysozyme’s enzymatic action. Consequently, studies demonstrate that lysozyme is most effective against these bacteria. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing novel antimicrobial […]
