| lysozyme |
Glycosidase that hydrolyses the bond between N acetyl muramic acid and N acetyl glucosamine, thus cleaving an important polymer of the cell wall of many bacteria. Present in tears, saliva and in the lysomes of phagocytic cells, it is an important antibacterial defence, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.

| lysozyme |
A basic enzyme present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N- acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl- D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin
