The specific function of my protein is that it is an enzyme that comes from bacteria called ''Bacillus cereus''. Its main function is to catalyze the chemical reaction by turning UDP-glucose into UDP- galactose in sugar-containing metabolites. It does this by flipping the chiral center. The PBD of this protein in 6ZLK and it contains 3 ligands. The 3 ligands are UGB, NAD, and UGA. I am focussing on is UGB.

Biological relevance and broader implications

Important amino acids

Structural highlights 

Our protein comes from the Bacillus cereus HuA2-4 organism. It includes the Epimerase domain.  Our protein has a fair amount of secondary structures. I see that this protein possesses 12 helices and 12 beta-sheets. This tertiary structure contains many hydrophobic interactions. There are 3 major ligand binding sites.: UGA, NAD, and UGB. This means that the amino acids at the binding sites have nonpolar R groups cluster together, on the inside of the protein. This leaves the hydrophilic amino acids on the outside of the structure. This protein contains a few sugar rings in its metabolic pathway. The process creates sugar products. This enzyme creates a cavity where the sugar group binds and modifies itself. It has one Ramachandran Outlier. the total structure Weight is 153.40 kDa.The way that the protein is folded denotes that it might also be a quaternary structure.

Other important features

This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
