The enzyme lysozyme catalyses the hydrolysis of the polymer that consists of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramicacid (NAM). This reaction usually takes place at pH = 5, but is dramatically inactivated above a pH of 7. Explain why this occurs by referring to the catalytic mechanism of lysozyme.
