History
The discovery of lysozyme in 1922 was providential in that the undertaken experiment related to the discovery of lysozyme was not geared toward any knowledge of such a protein as lysozyme. During the unrelated experiment, nasal drippings were inadvertently introduced to a petri dish containing a bacterial culture, which culture consequently exhibited the results of an as yet unknown enzymatic reaction. The observation of this unknown reaction led to further research on the components of this reaction as well as to the corresponding identification of a new enzyme, which was termed lysozyme.
