Lysozyme (IMAGE) DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Caption Lysozyme (shown in blue) -- a natural enzyme found in tears, saliva and egg whites -- can break down bacterial cell walls (shown in pink). ORNL researchers have combined computational simulation and neutron experiments to clarify the complicated motions of proteins such as lysozyme into three distinct classes.
