3D structures of SAICAR synthetase
Updated on 09-March-2022
FunctionSAICAR synthetase (SAI) or phosphoribosylaminoimidazole-succinocarboxamide synthetase is part of the purine biosynthesis. SAI catalyzes ATP-dependent ligation of carboxyaminoimidazole ribotide (AICAR) with aspartate[1]. Structural highlightsSAI structure shows two domains. The active site is located in a hydrophilic tunnel between the 2 domains and contains ADP, aspartic acid and aminoimidazole-ribonucleotide (AIR)[2]. Residues are colored according to Hydrophobic, Polar. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
