Introduction and General Structure

is an enzyme in glycolysis. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase is a tetramer, has alpha helices in pinkish purple and beta sheets in blue. The alpha helices are mostly found on the surface of the enzyme while the beta sheets are embedded in the inside of the enzyme.

Hydrogen and Disulfide Bond

are in black and there is no observable disulfide bond in the enzyme. Based on the position of the Hydrogen bonds, we concluded that the beta sheets are parallel to each other since the H-bonds are slanted.

Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Residues

are in light purple color. are in teal.
