Function of your protein

The protein, L-rhamnose-a-1,4-D-glucuronate lyase, is an enzyme from the fungus Fusarium oxysporum 12S (FoRham1) that potentially naturally breaks down and degrades Gum Arabic (GA) by releasing the Rha caps found on the non-reducing ends of GA. According to the study, little is known about GA carbohydrate structure, so this study is being used to understand more about how to degrade/function of GA. I chose to specifically look at the mutant H105F Rha-GlcA ligand which has a PDB file: 7ESN. A colored image of this can be seen (For Reference N-5' = Blue, C-3' = Red
