Adenylate Kinase
Adenylate kinase (also known as 1AKE) is a phosphotransferase enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of adenine nucleotides. Adenylate Kinase thus plays an important role in cellular metabolism. The images of Adenylate Kinase in this sandbox are from Yersinia Pestis, or yeast.
Secondary Structure
the helices are shown in hot pink and the beta sheets are shown in a purple, other features??
Adenylate Kinase consists of 214 amino acids which form 12 alpha helices and 7 beta sheets. The secondary structure is held together by hydrogen bonds.

In the text around your green link, make sure you talk about the hydrogen bonds. Seeing the hydrogen bonds on the beta sheets should also help you to decide if they are parallel or anti-parallel, and you should comment on that as well.
describe representation
describe representation polar and charged residues
Solvent
write something about where the waters are, and arent
ligand highlighted brown
Enzyme Activity
When you add the green link to the top part of the page, make sure you say something about what kinds of side-chains interact with the non-hydrolysable substrate, and if that makes sense.
catalytic residues, check w/ dr tims to see if i have selected the rite ones
