Uses: Biochemical research. It is an alkaline enzyme that can hydrolyze mucopolysaccharides in pathogenic bacteria. Mainly by breaking the β-1,4 glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in the cell wall, the cell wall insoluble mucopolysaccharide is decomposed into soluble glycopeptides, resulting in the rupture of the cell wall and the escape of the contents to dissolve the bacteria. Lysozyme can also directly combine with negatively charged viral proteins to form complex salts with DNA, RNA and apoproteins to inactivate the virus. It can decompose gram-positive bacteria such as Micrococcus megaterium, Bacillus megaterium, and Sarcinus flavus.
For biochemical research, it is clinically used for the treatment of acute and chronic pharyngitis, lichen planus, wart plana and other diseases.
