Heterodimer </scene> alignment.

Specific are highlighted here. The ligands listed above, GDP, Phe, and Mg+2 ion each attach at these locations which are still being explored.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation. They form positive pockets with which negative amino acids can bind to.

'Molecules it Interacts With and where '

The protein binds to GDP as well as the following ligands in order to promote the attachment of the protein complex to the ribosome A site.

PHOSHOAMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-GUANYLATE ESTER

PHENYLALANINE MAGNESIUM ION

'Origin'

It has domains that are created in yeast (phenyl-transfer RNA) , in the heat resistant Thermus aquaticus (EF-Tu elongation factor, and can be synthetically manufactured.

'Structure'

It has 3 domains. G proteins, Elongation Factors, and the EF-Tu/eEF-1alpha/eIF2-gamma C-terminal domain. It is composed of 6 chains, which combine in alignment.

Specific are highlighted here.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation.

A polymerase is an enzyme that adds nucleotides onto a growing nucleic acid. Taq polymerase is a DNA polymerase Taq polymerase has the ability to withstand temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees Celcius, so it can perform its function in extreme conditions.

What it interacts with

The molecule interacts with freefloating DNA nucleotides, scooping them up and combining them into a strand of DNA.

Where it interacts

On the molecule itself, the primary interaction is carried out at the active site, the structure of which enables the linkage of the DNA nucleotides. In the cell, the molecule floats around the cytoplasm, and binds to a strand of DNA when it starts connecting the nucleotides.

Where it originates

Taq polymerase can be found in the extremophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus. The bacterium lives in conditions that are very hot (75 to 80 degrees Celsius), so it requires a DNA polymerase that can function in high temperatures.

Structural highlights

The most important part of any protein is the structure that holds everything together: . The backbone runs through the protein's larger structure, allowing the other parts to perform their respective function.

The main function of the molecule, of course, is to construct . The DNA runs through the active site of the molecule, and is built upon.

The are necessary to perform this function as well. They attach onto the protein, changing its overall conformation, allowing it to become the shape that it needs to be in order to properly construct DNA.
