my protein is <scene name='86/861618/Protein_view_2/5'>Flavin, it is found in fungus. it is sort of a co-enzyme and a receptor at the same time, and it helps grab metals. so, its job is to provide iron which is a critical nutrient used by fungus. | my protein is <scene name='86/861618/Protein_view_2/5'>Flavin, it is found in fungus. it is sort of a co-enzyme and a receptor at the same time, and it helps grab metals. so, its job is to provide iron which is a critical nutrient used by fungus. | ||

this journal article also discussed Aspergillosis, which is a condition in which Aspergillus fumigatus infects the lungs causing fatal mycoses in humans as well as animals resulting in about 200,000 cases per year, in humans only, and it cases death in about half of this number. | this journal article also discussed Aspergillosis, which is a condition in which Aspergillus fumigatus infects the lungs causing fatal mycoses in humans as well as animals resulting in about 200,000 cases per year, in humans only, and it cases death in about half of this number. | ||
So, it is really important to study this protein and understands the mechanism with which it works in order to fight the infection and discover a new anti-fungal drug that will work better for both humans and animals. | So, it is really important to study this protein and understands the mechanism with which it works in order to fight the infection and discover a new anti-fungal drug that will work better for both humans and animals. | ||

| + | flavin is a redox-active coenzyme associated with various proteins, which is involved with several enzymatic reactions in metabolism. this helps converting ornithine to hydroxy ornithine which Oh groups help hold the iron and grab it to the fungus. this reaction is where energy is transferred. | ||

This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. | This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein.
