Function of your protein

This is a picture of my protein with The Ligand highlighted as shown. Our protein’s main function is to degrade GA and can be found in Fusarium oxysporum, a phytopathogenic fungus that uses GA as the sole carbon source for growth. It “hydrolyzes the glycosidic linkages of α-L- rhamnose-(1→4)-D-glucuronic acid (Rha–GlcA) present in GA side chains to release Rha through an anomer-retaining mechanism” (Kondo).

Biological relevance and broader implications

Understanding the function and mechanism of this protein will allow us to create a solid foundation in the future for carbohydrate-related enzymes. This can eventually lead to using this enzyme's mechanism and target for medicinal advancement to help treat Batten's disease, which can cause death from the inability to excrete waste from the body via the form of lipids and proteins. The information obtained by this study associated with it will tell us more about the metabolic activity of the enzyme, which will allow us to use its properties for "elucidating its physiological function in plants" (Kondo)
