Introduction

Hey guys you can use this link for more info about TMK. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2242479/ ^[1] This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein.

Overall Structure

Binding Interactions

Green scene gives a rough outline of the TMK backbone and a look at its active site. Outlined, in ball and stick model, are the active site residues as well as the bound sulfonylpiperidine ligand. The key residues are Arg 48, Phe 66, Ser 97, and Gln 101. In green scene you are able to see that Arg 48, Ser 97, and Gln 101 form hydrogen bonds with the sulfonylpiperidine ligand. The hydrogen bond locations are shown with distances between the atoms which hydrogen bond with each other in one of the subunits. Arg 48 in particular forms one hydrogen bond with the phenolic group on the ligand. The ligand's ability to hydrogen bond with this particular residue was crucial because Arg 48 is a highly conserved residue. In other words it is seen in the active site in other TMK organisms. Moreover the hydrogen bond with Arg 48 is necessary in order for the ligand to have high enzyme affinity. If this sulfonylpiperidine is able to hydrogen bond with Arg 48, it will also be able to have relatively high binding affinity to the TMK of other oganisms. Will edit as other sections are added. ^[2]
