4Q7Q Structure and Proposed Functionality
(NOTE TO ALL EDITORS: This page is part of a final project for a biochemistry lab at Elizabethtown College. Please do not edit this.)
4Q7Q is a homodimeric protein complex that originates from the bacterial species Chitinophaga Pinensis and has a mass of 58.5 kDa. It is a member of the SGNH Hydrolase Superfamily with structural and sequential similarities to esterases and lipases. Current evidence suggests it causes the hydrolysis of esters and/or acetyl groups on lipids/lipid-like molecules via a serine protease-like active site.
