}The chemical evidence for the enzymic activity of lysozyme will be discussed in detail by other speakers at this meeting, but in order to describe our crystallographic studies of the interactions between the enzyme and its substrates it is necessary to summarize briefly what was known about them at the beginning of our work. Simultaneously with his discovery of lysozyme Fleming (1922) discovered a Gram-positive species of bacteria, Micrococcus lysodeikticus, which is particularly susceptible to…

Chemical Evidence for the Phillips Model of the Action of Hen Egg White Lysozyme
- Chemistry, BiologyNature
- 1968
A THREE-dimensional model of the ES-complex formed between a chito-oligosaccharide and hen egg white lyso-zyme was presented and it was reported that partially O-carboxymethylated chitin was highly susceptible to the action of lysozyme.

It has been shown that turkey egg white lysozyme is enzymatically active in the crystal and the reduced radiolabeled oligosaccharide has a unique cleavage pattern with trisaccharides as the products.
A Covalent Enzyme-Substrate Adduct in a Mutant Hen Egg White Lysozyme (D52E)*

It is suggested that the catalytic mechanism of D52E mutant lysozyme proceeds through a covalent enzyme-substrate intermediate indicating a different catalytic mechanisms from the wild type hen egg white lyso enzyme.
Crystal structures of K33 mutant hen lysozymes with enhanced activities.
- Chemistry, BiologyJournal of biochemistry

The results suggest that the enhancement of activity in K33N mutant lysozyme was due to an alteration in the orientation of the side chain of N37, which may have helped Lysozyme acquire the conformational stability at position 33.
