3-d structure of lysozyme To what kind of chemical compounds does lyzosyme belong to? They are a kind of proteins What are subunits of which enzymes such as lysozyme made of? Enzyme which is made out of Aminoacids Explain the significance and role of the region lablled “active site cleft”? Makes the protein unique Why do you think that lysozyme is found in tears and saliva? Lysozyme protects you from bacteria When the yellow bacterium micrococcus luteus comes into contact with lysozyme, the bacterial cell is broken open and loses its yellow color. Explain how this property could enable you to find out which of saliva or tearscontains the higher concentration of lysozyme. We can find out which has the most concentration of lysozyme by seeing which turns whiter, or which one takes most pf the colour off.. Explain why emzymes can be effective in very small amounts? When there are small amounts of lysozyme it will be more concentrated therefore its more effective when it comes to kill or protect you from bacteria

3-d structure of lysozymeTo what kind of chemical compounds does lyzosyme belong to?They are a kind of proteins What are subunits of which enzymes such as lysozyme made of? Enzyme which is made out of Aminoacids Explain the significance and role of the region lablled active site cleft?Makes the protein unique Why do you think that lysozyme is found in tears and saliva?Lysozyme protects you from bacteria

When the yellow bacterium micrococcus luteus comes into contact with lysozyme, the bacterial cell is broken open and loses its yellow color. Explain how this property could enable you to find out which of saliva or tearscontains the higher concentration of lysozyme.We can find out which has the most concentration of lysozyme by seeing which turns whiter, or which one takes most pf the colour off..

Explain why emzymes can be effective in very small amounts?When there are small amounts of lysozyme it will be more concentrated therefore its more effective when it comes to kill or protect you from bacteria
