Function of your protein
The specific function of ornithine aminotransferase is responsible for converting ornithine into pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to another molecule. Glutamate and proline are the amino acids that can be produced from P5C
Biological relevance and broader implications
Important amino acids
are an important parts of the ligands binding site [3].
Hydrogen bonding - Val 143, Asp 263, Gly 142
Covalent bonding - Lys 292
Salt bridge - Asp 262 and Arg
Pi-stacking - Phe 177
Structural highlights
This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
An ornithine aminotransferase is composed of 50% of alpha helices, 45% of beta sheets, and 5% of other structures.
The beta sheet contains 1 of the 3 catalytic amino acids.
