Lyses is the the
third person singular of the verb "to lyse". It means "to cause the
breakdown of." E.g., "Complement lyses bacteria," or, "Diastase lyses
glycogen."
Once in a
blue moon, lyses is used as the
plural of lysis, which is Latin for dissolving. In English, lysis usually
means breakdown. In chemistry, it means the splitting of a compound into
two parts. In biology, it means the death of a cell and the disappearance
of its parts.
