KROK 1 2017 – Question 5 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Protective function of saliva is based on several mechanisms, including the presence of enzyme that has bactericidal action and causes lysis of complex capsular polysaccharides of staphylococci and streptococci. Name this enzyme:
- A. Oligo-1,6-glucosidase
- B. Collagenase
- C. Beta-glucuronidase
- D. Alpha-amylase
- E. Lysozyme
Hint
Separate the digestive enzymes of saliva from the one whose job is antibacterial defence, and think about what kind of bond it must break in a microbe.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
