[Bacteriolytic enzyme preparation lysoamidase. Purification and some properties of bacteriolytic peptidase L1]
Abstract:
The bacteriolytic peptidase L1 has been isolated from the enzyme preparation of lysoamidase capable to lyze cell walls of gram-positive bacteria using ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Some physico-chemical properties of the enzyme have been established. The molecular mass of L1 is 21 kDa, the pH optimum for Staphylococcus aureus cell lysis is 7-11. The optimal concentration of the buffer is 50 mM; the temperature optimum is 70 degrees C; the half-inactivation temperature is 55 degrees C.

Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
