Please do NOT make changes to this Sandbox. Sandboxes 30-60 are reserved for use by Biochemistry 410 & 412 at Messiah College taught by Dr. Hannah Tims during Fall 2012 and Spring 2013.

Adenylate Kinase

Contents

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 consists of 214 amino acids which form 12 alpha helices and 7 beta sheets. The helices are displayed in hot pink and the anti-parallel beta sheets are of adenylate kinase are shown in purple. The secondary structure is held together by (depicted by black lines).



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
