- What is the mechanism of action of lysozymes? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.23.193.89 (talk • contribs).

- Perhaps you should read the article first: "This enzyme functions by attacking peptidoglycan by hydrolyzing the bond that connects N-acetylmuramic acid with carbon four of N-acetylglucosamine." These substances are part of the bacterial cell wall, and lysozyme therefore affects the integrity of the cell wall. JFW | T@lk 16:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Somebody could define the term "opsonins"? good piece. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.199.52.106 (talk • contribs).

- The connection expressed in the line "Most of the bacteria affected by lysozyme are not pathogenic. In some cases, lysozyme is a primary reason these organisms do not become pathogenic." is not clear. A brief explanation of how lysozyme prevents pathogenicity, or a link to the mechanism, would be usefull. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.10.158.247 (talk • contribs). 20:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
