Lysоzyme is а well-knоwn аntimicrоbiаl enzyme that hydrolyzes the β-(1,4) glycosidic bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) in bacterial cell walls, leading to cell lysis. Its catalytic mechanism has been debated extensively, with two main proposals resembling SN1 and SN2 pathways. In the SN1-like mechanism—originally proposed by Phillips—the enzyme binds and distorts the substrate, facilitating the formation of an oxocarbenium ion intermediate that is subsequently attacked by water, leading to bond cleavage in a stepwise manner. In contrast, the SN2-like mechanism envisions a concerted process where bond cleavage and bond formation occur simultaneously, potentially involving a covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate that is later hydrolyzed to release the product. Recent kinetic isotope studies and QM/MM simulations suggest that lysozyme may employ features of both mechanisms, with the reaction pathway being influenced by substrate structure and reaction conditions. The following intermediate is formed by which mechanism?
EXTRA CREDIT: Accоrding tо the Wаll Street Jоurnаl аrticle, which country placed tariffs on US lumber? Did these tariffs cause US exports to rise or fall? By how much did the lower demand push down hardwood lumber prices? Other than lower prices, how has the reduced demand for US lumber affected the lumber industry?
