Singer, Howard J.
RESUMO
The principal autolytic enzyme activity of the cell sap of Staphylococcus aureus H has been purified 400-fold. It is an N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanine amidase. This enzyme has a molecular weight of 8 to 10 × 105, a pH optimum of 7.3, an ionic strength optimum of 0.16 m and a Km of 10−3m murein repeating units.
