Difference between Lysozyme and Peptidoglycan

Lysozyme vs. Peptidoglycan

Lysozyme, also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase is an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system. Peptidoglycan, also known as murein, is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall.

Similarities between Lysozyme and Peptidoglycan

Lysozyme and Peptidoglycan have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cytoplasm, Glycosidic bond, Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, Innate immune system, N-Acetylglucosamine, N-Acetylmuramic acid, Penicillin.

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus.

Glycosidic bond

In chemistry, a glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.

Gram-positive bacteria

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their cell wall.

Innate immune system

The innate immune system, also known as the non-specific immune system or in-born immunity system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms involved in the defense of the host from infection by other organisms.
