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. This scene shows the same group of residues with the four cystines responsable for the the disulfide bonds highlighted with yellow halos.
As it is in all proteins, Hydropathy is the strongestforce that holds lysozymes trhee-dimentional structure in place. in the followinf
