Lysozyme - Hen Egg White (HEW)
Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks down cell walls by hydrolyzing certain glycosidic linkages in the peptidoglycan of cell walls.
History
HEW Lysozyme was the first enzyme to have its structure determined in 1965 by David Phillips. Phillips initially elucidated the structure through X-Ray crystallography and then continued his investigation of substrate binding by building models of the enzyme.
