Lysozyme was the first enzyme whose x-ray structure was determined. The folllowing scene, shows this structure containing a trisaccharide bound to the active site. David Phillips, who determined the structure in 1965, saw that the active site was large enough to fit three more saccharide units and his group built a model of a hexasaccharide fit into the active site.
