Overview

Throughout the course of this past year, we attempted to determine the function of our protein 2QRU. Our preliminary hypothesis predicted that 2QRU would be a lipase, a subclass of esterases. We performed an esterase assay to prove that 2QRU was an esterase first, and are yet to determine if it can be classified as a lipase.

Background

Structure

Here is a visualization of my protein highlighting the alpha helices and beta sheets: This protein is an alpha/beta hydrolase that has one chain. It's 816 base pairs long
