Ly t i c P h a g e

the glycosidic bond energy by forming a cyclic 1,6disaccharide product. They catalyze the intramolecular transfer of the O-muramyl residue to its own C6 hydroxyl group. 3. The amidases, such as bacteriophage T7 gp3.5, which degrade the peptide bond between MurNAc and the adjacent tetrapeptide crosslinker and endopeptidases, such as the Listeria monocytogenes A500 ply500, which degrade the peptide bond between two tetrapeptides, cutting between m-DAP Ala.
