This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.[1].

Tunnels

DGAT consists of 3 tunnels, a cytosolic tunnel, an ER-luminal funnel, and a membrane-embedded lateral gate. The cytosolic tunnel is the site of acyl-CoA binding, with the CoA group pointing at the cytosolic face and its acyl chain pointing towards the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. DAG then enters via the lateral gate on the luminal side via the lateral gate where it can then access the active site. The resulting product can then be released to either side of the membrane. [2].
