Function of your Protein

The specific function of my protein is that it helps detoxify the liver through conjugation and xenobiotic metabolisms and comes from Bacillus cereus. Our protein goes through a reaction and changes UDP glucose into galactose, by flipping the chiral center. The enzyme prevents decarboxylation by keeping the CO2 on the structure.

Biological relevance and broader implications

Important amino acids

Structural highlights

Our protein comes from the Bacillus cereus HuA2-4 organism. It includes the Epimerase domain.  Our protein has a fair amount of secondary structures. I see that this protein possesses 12 helices and 12 beta-sheets. This tertiary structure contains many hydrophobic interactions. There are 3 major ligand binding sites.: UGA, NAD, and UGB. This means that the amino acids at the binding sites have nonpolar R groups cluster together, on the inside of the protein. This leaves the hydrophilic amino acids on the outside of the structure. This protein contains a few sugar rings in its metabolic pathway. The process creates sugar products. This enzyme creates a cavity where the sugar group binds and modifies itself. It has one Ramachandran Outlier. the total structure Weight is 153.40 kDa.The way that the protein is folded denotes that it might also be a quaternary structure.
