The enzyme which specifically catalyzes β (1 → 4) glycosidic linkages of NAM (N-acetyl muramic acid) and NAG (N-acetyl glucosamine) present in bacterial peptidoglycan is _______________ Correct Answer

Lysozyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the β (1 → 4) glycosidic linkages of NAM (N-acetyl muramic acid) and NAG (N-acetyl glucosamine) present in bacterial peptidoglycan. Proteases catalyzes the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides or single amino acids. Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats. Cellulase catalyzes the breakdown of cellulose and other polysaccharides to monosaccharides.
