Description
Peptidoglycan lytic exotransglycosylase is an enzyme that participates in the exolytic cleavage of the 1-4-β-glycosidic linkage between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in peptidoglycan, from either the reducing or the non-reducing ends of the peptidoglycchains, with concomitant formation of a 1,6-anhydrobond in the MurNAc residue.
