We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Trypsin is a serine protease that is produced in the pancreas. Serine protease means that it is an enzyme that cleaves amino acid sequences and that a serine residue is located in the active site of the enzyme. In order to prevent it from breaking down the proteins in the pancreas of the organism that produces it, it is first produced as the inactive zymogen, proenzyme trypsinogen.

Trypsin is an enzyme that is composed of one, sequence unique, chain consisting of 58 amino acid residues.

Observing the <scene name='Sandbox_44/Primary_sequence/1'>Rainbow Coloration</scene> of trypsin one can easily follow the primary sequence of the amino acids as it begins at the amide or N-terminal end(dark blue), and progresses to the carboxyl or C-terminal end with the final 58th amino acid reside (red).

Adenylate Kinase

Adenylate Kinase is an enzyme that helps in the conversion of 2 units of ADP into one of ATP and one of AMP. It has two chains:

and Chain B. Adenylate Kinase plays an important role in cell energy homeostatis because of of its function. It is made of 214 amino acids.

Structure

The of Adenylate Kinase consists of alpha helices (purple) and the beta sheets(lime green). There are seven sheets and 12 helices. The of the backbone are shown in yellow. They provide the structure by holding the protein together and giving it its shape.(Link may not show up). The enzyme has (blue)that are located are the inside of the protein. This makes sense because the enzyme is surrounded by water, and thus these residues would want to be as far away from this as possible. The enzyme also has residues (purple) located on the outside, which have an affinity for water and allow for the enzyme to move and function in the water and let substrate reach the active site. The (orange) in the center of the protein has (yellow) that allow binding to occur. The (maroon) can't interract with the ligand, because it is centrally located. This allows the active site not to be interfered with, and allows the enzyme to function properly.
