Overview of 'this type of enzyme'
The role in the body this would play based on results. Any potential implications of the enzyme if disrupted based on findings and related enzymes.
Proposed Function
This protein has alpha/beta-hydrolase activity and is of the esterase family. The BLAST, InterPro, and Dali Search along with other bioinformatics analyses consistently matched with carboxylesterases and other esterase-like proteins. SwissDock and Chimera allowed for protein-ligand docking studies. Many of the highlighted interactions were ester-containing ligands and others were susceptible to hydrolysis. The isolated protein was introduced to 10 mM p-nitrophenyl acetate in a buffer with a pH of 6. Enzyme activity was measured, and the data was consistent with other hydrolases.
