Function of your Protein

it binds to a host cell (human epithelial cell) to provide a host cell recognition to invade the human cell.

Biological relevance and broader implications

Important amino acids

The type of protein that we are looking at is an adhesion protein, so it does not function as an enzyme. It does not have a catalytic triad within the active site. Though there are some important amino acid residues to highlight as they interact with the ligand (lactose). In the diagram of the protein, we can look to see the red ball stick structures by the ligand are the amino acid residues interacting with the ligand. They are all interacting via hydrogen bonds.
