Ald-C structure
Function of your protein
Ald-c is from a tomato plant.
ald-C is an aldehyde dehydrogenase which are known to preform many biological functions. They can detoxify highly reactive compounds such as aldehydes. In a plant they also help with cell wall ester biogenesis, and help plant when they fell "stress" such as dehydration.
Biological relevance and broader implications
The Pseudomonas syringae pant pathogen effects crops, it is relevant because farmers and people that work in the agriculture industry need to know of all the ways that their crops can get infected. Pseudomonas syringae makes the plants defenses against pathogens weak and it is more susceptible to get sick, by producing many different virulence factors such as parahormones, which are chemicals that are similar to the plants natural hormones but are not.
••••••
This paper is relevant to more areas in science because if someone want to make a defense chemical for Pseudomonas syringae they can use the chemistry in this paper to do so. There is a lost of valuable information that shows the chemistry, such as binding affinity.
Important amino acids
there are 4 catalytic amino acids which are essential for catalyzing the reactions and if one of them is mutated it can cause a huge effect in any enzyme.
Structural highlights
The octantal was the best substrate with the lowest Km and the highest affinity.
Ald-C is a homodimer.
