ペプチド加水分解の方法、ペプチダーゼ、静菌剤および殺菌剤としての使用のための組成物、黄色ブドウ球菌からのＬｙｔＭの活性型またはその誘導体のキットおよび使用

摘要

The invention relates to new method of peptide hydrolysis, in particular of the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, wherein the active form of LytM or derivative thereof is contacted with a peptide substrate, preferably with the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, in an aqueous environment of conductivity lower than 10 mS/cm. The invention also relates to composition comprising active form of LytM or derivative thereof and new uses of active form of LytM or derivative thereof.
