Introduction:

Lactase is the name of the enzyme that is responsible for metabolizing any lactose that might be present in the human diet. On the right is a 3-Dimensional representation of the lactase enzyme. This enzyme consists of 4 identical proteins that assemble to make a tetramer. Each of these individual subunits has the necessary structure to metabolize one molecule of lactose at a time. Thus, at any particular moment in time, the lactase tetramer can be processing 4 molecules of lactose.

In this tutorial, you will take a tour of the basic structure of the lactase protein.

Replace the PDB id (use lowercase!) after the STRUCTURE_ and after PDB= to load and display another structure.
