Lysozyme is an antibacterial enzyme that was discovered in 1921 by Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin. Lysozyme catalyses the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds present in peptidoglycan molecules to form smaller products, NAG (N-acetylglucosamine) and NAM ( N -acetylmuramic acid). Lysozyme and penicillin can be described as antibacterial agents. Compare lysozyme and penicillin to show the similarities and differences between these two antibacterial agents. ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . .........................................................................................................................................
