Application

La enzima rompe las paredes celulares de las bacterias; se utiliza para preparar esferoplastos.
Lysozyme hydrolyzes the β-1,4 linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, a polysaccharide backbone of peptidoglycans in the cell wall structure of many microorganisms. This is particularly useful for lysing Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria for subsequent nucleic acid extraction.

Biochem/physiol Actions

La lisozima hidroliza los enlaces β(1→4) entre los restos del ácido N-acetilmurámico y los restos de N-acetil-D-glucosamina en el peptidoglucano y entre los residuos de N-acetil-D-glucosamina en la quitodextrina. Las células grampositivas son bastante sensibles a esta hidrólisis, ya que sus paredes celulares tienen una elevada proporción de peptidoglucanos. Las bacterias gramnegativas son menos sensibles debido a la presencia de una membrana externa y a una menor proporción de peptidoglucanos. Sin embargo, estas células pueden ser hidrolizadas en presencia de EDTA que forma complejos con los iones metálicos en la membrana bacteriana externa.

La enzima es activa en un amplio intervalo de pH (de 6,0 a 9,0). A pH 6,2, se observa actividad máxima en un intervalo de fuerzas iónicas más amplio (de 0,02 a 0,100 M) que a pH 9,2 (de 0,01 a 0,06 M).

Features and Benefits

  • Highly purified by repeated crystallization and dialysis
  • Each lot is use-tested for isolation of plasmid DNA from E. coli

Unit Definition

One unit will produce a ΔA450 of 0.001 per min at pH 6.24 at 25°C, using a suspension of Micrococcus lysodeikticus as substrate, in a 2.6 mL reaction mixture (1 cm light path).
