LYSOZYME
Lysozym is an enzyme found in the secretions and tissues of most animals. It destroys bacterial cell walls by hydrolysing the glycosidic linkages in cell wall peptidoglycans.
The enzyme's tertiary structure is maintained in part by disulfide bonds. the following view displays the enzyme from residue number 60 to 102. it shows two disulfide bonds stabilizing two alpha helices and the loop connecting them.
