The Lysozyme-Substrate Complex.

The lysozyme molecule is shown using the Cartoon display. The Structure coloring used above displays a-helices in magenta; b-strands in yellow; turns in blue; and "other" in white.
The tetrasaccharide substrate is shown as Spacefill with CPK coloring.
  Show the substrate as Sticks.
  Show the substrate as Spacefill.
More than 100 water molecules are localized in this structure.
  Show the H2O molecules as small blue spheres.
  Remove the H2O's.

Viewing Tips:
  Choose some of the other Display and Color selections from the Chime menu with each of the substrate displays.
  The substrate can be removed from the display by deselecting Display Hetero Atom Groups under Options in the Chime menu.
  Use the buttons to the right of the image to show only portions of the structure; then use the Chime menu to display or color the molecule. The rotate buttons act on the entire structure. Remove the distance monitors with a second click.
