== Important amino acids == important amino acids include arginine, serine, aspartic acid, and tyrosine. The catalytic triad is Ser/Thr-Tyr-Lys. | == Important amino acids == important amino acids include arginine, serine, aspartic acid, and tyrosine. The catalytic triad is Ser/Thr-Tyr-Lys. | ||
- | == Structural highlights == The protein has an A chain and a B chain. The protein contains a secondary structure of alpha helices, beta sheets, and beta turns. As with many proteins, the alpha helices are abundant than beta-sheets. However, beta sheets are rather plentiful in this protein. Just based on visual aids, I would say that the protein is made up of 30% beta-sheets, 60% alpha-helices, and 10% other structures. I was able to identify seven beta turns in the protein as well. Chain A contains what appears to be ten alpha-helices, three beta-sheets, and three beta turns. Chain B contains what appears to be ten alpha-helices, four beta-sheets, and four beta turns. | + | == Structural highlights == The protein has an A chain and a B chain.

Chain B contains what appears to be ten alpha-helices, four beta-sheets, and four beta turns. From what I could gather from the image, the catalytic triad amino acids appear to be close to both the alpha-helices and the beta-sheets. |
