Function of your Protein

are cell wall proteins responsible for for the binding of a bacteria or fungi to its host. My epithelial adhesin is part of the Candida glabrata, Candidiasis are any type of fungal infections resulting from Yeast (candida). Their N-terminal domains are endowed with a calcium-dependent lectin activity. This feature allows the yeast cells to adhere to host cells by establishing multiple interactions with the glycans expressed on their cell membrane. My Protein binds to

Biological relevance and broader implications

Important amino acids

Structural highlights

My protein is a epithelial adhesin protein binded to a Galactose beta 1-3 N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine, it contains 3 to 5 small alpha helices and a core of anti parralel beta sheets. all of the catalytic amino acids bind to the ligand by hydrogen bonds with the ligand itself or metal interaction with Ca+ its also contains a disulfide bond binding two loops together that are crucial in ligand affinity.
