E1105 (Lysozyme), also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase, is an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system. 
E1105 (Lysozyme) is a glycoside hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan, which is the major component of gram-positive bacterial cell wall.

This hydrolysis in turn compromises the integrity of bacterial cell walls causing lysis of the bacteria.
E1105 (Lysozyme) is abundant in secretions including tears, saliva, human milk, and mucus. 

E1105 (Lysozyme) is also present in cytoplasmic granules of the macrophages and the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). 
Large amounts of E1105 (Lysozyme) can be found in egg white. 

E1105 (Lysozyme) is closely related to alpha-lactalbumin in sequence and structure, making them part of the same glycoside hydrolase family 22.
In humans, the C-type E1105 (Lysozyme) enzyme is encoded by the LYZ gene.

Hen egg white E1105 (Lysozyme) is thermally stable, with a melting point reaching up to 72 °C at pH 5.0.
However, E1105 (Lysozyme) in human milk loses activity very quickly at that temperature.

Hen egg white E1105 (Lysozyme) maintains its activity in a large range of pH (6-9).
E1105 (Lysozyme)'s isoelectric point is 11.35.
The isoelectric point of human milk E1105 (Lysozyme) is 10.5-11.

Function and Mechanism:
The enzyme functions by hydrolyzing glycosidic bonds in peptidoglycans. 
The enzyme can also break glycosidic bonds in chitin, although not as effectively as true chitinases

E1105 (Lysozyme)'s active site binds the peptidoglycan molecule in the prominent cleft between its two domains. 
E1105 (Lysozyme) attacks peptidoglycans (found in the cell walls of bacteria, especially Gram-positive bacteria), its natural substrate, between N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and the fourth carbon atom of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG).

Shorter saccharides like tetrasaccharide have also shown to be viable substrates but via an intermediate with a longer chain.
Chitin has also been shown to be a viable E1105 (Lysozyme) substrate. 
Artificial substrates have also been developed and used in E1105 (Lysozyme).

Inhibition:
Imidazole derivatives can form a charge-transfer complex with some residues (in or outside active center) to achieve a competitive inhibition of E1105 (Lysozyme).
In Gram-negative bacteria, the lipopolysaccharide acts as a non-competitive inhibitior by highly favored binding with E1105 (Lysozyme).

Chemical Synthesis:
The first chemical synthesis of a E1105 (Lysozyme) protein was attempted by Prof. George W. Kenner and his group at the University of Liverpool in England.
This was finally achieved in 2007 by Thomas Durek in Steve Kent's lab at the University of Chicago who made a synthetic functional E1105 (Lysozyme) molecule.

Other Applications:
E1105 (Lysozyme) crystals have been used to grow other functional materials for catalysis and biomedical applications.
E1105 (Lysozyme) is a commonly used enzyme for lysing gram positive bacteria.

Due to the unique function of E1105 (Lysozyme) in which it can digest the cell wall and causes osmotic shock (burst the cell by suddenly changing solute concentration around the cell and thus the osmotic pressure), E1105 (Lysozyme) is commonly used in lab setting to release proteins from bacterium periplasm while the inner membrane remains sealed as vesicles called the spheroplast.
For example, E. coli can be lysed using E1105 (Lysozyme) to free the contents of the periplasmic space. 

E1105 (Lysozyme) is especially useful in lab setting for trying to collect the contents of the periplasm.
E1105 (Lysozyme) treatment is optimal at particular temperatures, pH ranges, and salt concentrations. 

E1105 (Lysozyme) activity increases with increasing temperatures, up to 60 degrees Celsius, with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. 
The salts present also affect E1105 (Lysozyme) treatment, where some assert inhibitory effects, and others promote lysis via E1105 (Lysozyme) treatment. 

Sodium chloride induces lysis, but at high concentrations, it is an active inhibitor of lysis. 
Similar observations have been seen with the use of potassium salts. 
Slight variations are present due to differences in bacterial strains.

E1105 (Lysozyme) is a naturally occurring enzyme found in bodily secretions such as tears, saliva, and milk. 
E1105 (Lysozyme) functions as an antimicrobial agent by cleaving the peptidoglycan component of bacterial cell walls, which leads to cell death.

In the case of tears, they protect our eyes from bacterial invaders. 

E1105 (Lysozyme) was the famous scientist Alexander Fleming who discovered E1105 (Lysozyme) in the early twentieth century. 
While growing a bacterial culture, a drop of mucus from his nose fell into the culture. 

Eventually, he noticed that the bacteria in this culture had been killed. 
He named the substance E1105 (Lysozyme) by combining two words: 'lyse' and 'enzyme'.

E1105 (Lysozyme) is capable of breaking the chemical bonds in the outer cell wall of the bacteria. 
Bacterial cell walls contain a layer of peptidoglycan, which is the specific site that E1105 (Lysozyme) targets. 

The peptidoglycan layer contains alternating molecules called N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. 
These molecules form a strong glycan chain that act as the backbone for the cell wall. The link between the N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid is cleaved by E1105 (Lysozyme).
