Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Introduction and Basic Structure
|
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, or more commonly called, , is a tetrahedral protein. G-3-P is an enzyme used in glycolysis to produce NADH through a mechanism with phosphate and NAD+, which binds to the ligand binding site of G-3-P. The has both alpha helices (purple) and beta sheets (green). The shows a more accurate representation of what this enzyme looks like.
Bonding
The scene name='56/563210/Hydrogen_bonds/1'>hydrogen bonds on the backbone</scene> are colored in orange. Based on the amount of the thin orange lines, it is made clear that there are many hydrogen bonds. However, there are no within the structure, or they would have been highlighted in green. The only special binding in the G-3-P enzyme is the hydrogen bonding. Looking at the structure with the highlights the structure of the beta sheets. Looking at the image, it seems that the beta sheets are both parallel and anti-parallel in structure.
Residues
The of G-3-P are colored teal. The are shown in blue.
