MeSH definition : An autolytic enzyme bound to the surface of bacterial cell walls. It catalyzes the
hydrolysis of the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-amino acid residues
in certain cell wall glycopeptides, particularly peptidoglycan. EC 3.5.1.28.;
MeSH synonym : amidohydrolase, mucopeptide; hydrolase, murein; hydrolase, peptidoglycan; amidase, n-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine; mucopeptide amidohydrolase; peptidoglycan hydrolase; le-enzyme; le enzyme; murein hydrolase; N acetylmuramoyl L alanine amidase;
