Function of your Protein

My protein is important for saving the world, as you can be by the .

== Function of your Protein == The apparent function of the protein is its ability to prevent decarboxylation at the C5’ position of the 4-keto-hexose-uronic acid intermediate.

My protein has a very .

== Biological relevance and broader implications == It also belongs to the SDR family. The enzymes work to prevent an overabundance of 4-keto-hexose-uronic acid, which lessens the release of reactive intermediates or decarboxylation. Because of the intense amount of research and findings, this organism is very relevant now.

== 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. 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.

== Other important features == I know that I am still learning about this protein and I will likely discover things that I identify as correct, and some incorrect, but I am excited to research and learn more.
