Adenylate Kinase
is a enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2 units of ADP into a unit of ATP and a unit of AMP. It is because of this catalytic role that adenylate kinase is an important part of homeostasis.
Structure
The of adenylate kinase shows alpha helices (blue) and beta sheets (teal) surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue. The enzyme is comprised of 9 helices and 9 sheets constituting the secondary structure. As with any enzyme, the (May not load) between the residues of the peptide chains supply the final folded protein with structural stability to remain folded.
This secondary structure is oriented as such so that the are buried or exposed depending on their individual properties. The hydrophobic, represented in grey, are buried as to avoid as much contact with water as possible. Similarly, the hydrophilic, or polar, residues are colored purple and exposed as much to water as possible. This is further illustrated by the model, displaying water molecules as pink orbs and the enzyme as a translucent white.
