Lysozyme, also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase is an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system. Lysozyme is a glycoside hydrolase which catalyze the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycans which is the major component of gram-positive bacterial cell wall.[3] This hydrolysis in turn compromises the integrity of bacterial cell walls causing lysis of the bacteria.
