Lysozyme molecule, computer artwork
Lysozyme molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the antibacterial enzyme lysozyme. Lysozyme is a widely distributed protein in human bodily fluids, including tears and saliva. It is also found in egg white and plant latex. Lysozyme disrupts the polysaccharide components of bacterial cell walls, leaving them susceptible to destruction. Researchers are establishing which parts of the lysozyme molecule are effective against bacteria. Atoms are colour-coded: carbon (grey), hydrogen (red), nitrogen (purple), oxygen (blue) and sulphur (yellow)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated artwork of the Lysozyme molecule, an essential antibacterial enzyme. The intricate model beautifully illustrates the complex structure and composition of this remarkable protein found in various human bodily fluids such as tears and saliva. Additionally, Lysozyme can be found in egg white and plant latex. The significance of Lysozyme lies in its ability to disrupt the polysaccharide components present in bacterial cell walls, rendering them vulnerable to destruction. Scientists are diligently studying different regions of the lysozyme molecule to determine which parts effectively combat bacteria. In this visually striking image, atoms are color-coded for clarity: carbon (grey), hydrogen (red), nitrogen (purple), oxygen (blue), and sulphur (yellow). Each atom contributes to the overall molecular architecture that makes up Lysozyme's powerful enzymatic properties. This mesmerizing artwork not only highlights the beauty inherent within biological structures but also emphasizes the crucial role played by molecules like Lysozyme in our body's defense against harmful bacteria. It serves as a testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at unraveling nature's secrets on a molecular level.
