Adenylate Kinase (PDB ID #: 1ake)
|
Introduction
is a good little protein.
Physical Properties
Adenylate kinase is caged with .
Structure
The of adenylate kinase shows alpha helicies (cyan) and beta sheets (green) surrounding the non-hydrolyzable substrate analogue (orange). Adenylate kinase has a exterior, and a core, with additional on the interior contacting the ligand.
Active Site and Mechanism
residues within of the ligand are involved in binding the ligand or stabilizing the active site.
adenylate kinase's is highlighted in dark blue.
together you can see that the is only a fraction of the molecules involved in binding the ligand.
