Introduction
Adenylate kinase is a protein that is found in the bacterium yersinia pestis. It consists of two chains, and Chain B. The two chains are identical and so structural elements can be examined by focusing on one chain. The space filling section of the protein is the ligand, which is bound to the active site in this representation.
Structural Elements
The is highlighted here, with alpha helices (shown in green) and beta sheets (blue). are shown in black. These bonds show that the beta sheets are connected in parallel, as the hydrogen bonds are angled and not parallel to one another.
in gray in brown in yellow - secondary structure in yellow - ball/stick and interacting side chains are shown here in stick/wire representation, with the rest of the protein semi-transparent. in purple
