Lysozyme Mechanism

The video tutorial explains the mechanism of the enzyme lysozyme, commonly studied in biochemistry. Lysozyme functions by breaking the Nam-Nag bonds in bacterial cell walls, weakening them and aiding the body's defense against bacteria. The tutorial details the SN2 reaction mechanism involved, highlighting the importance of molecular positioning of glutamic acid and aspartate in the enzyme's active site. The enzyme's action is specific to Nam-Nag bonds, and the video provides a comprehensive understanding of this biochemical process.
