In the first part of this Discussion the beautiful crystallographic results obtained at the Royal Institution were described (Blake, Mair
et al
., p. 365, Blake, Johnson
et al
., p. 378). Particular attention was paid to the nature of certain lysozymesaccharide complexes, some involving oligosaccharides of
N
-acetylglucosamine. This paper describes reactions of these same sugars, namely, their binding and cleavage by the enzyme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
