Overall Structure
Binding Interactions
The interactions that hold this protein together are aided by the interaction of Mg2+ atoms. They hold together the active site of the dimers. This is a charge-charge interaction, since the Magnesium has a 2+ charge. The oxygen atoms also have a partial negative charge which interactions with this positive charge.
