The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrogen_bonds/1'>Hydrogen Bonds</scene> of the backbone are shown in yellow. They provide the structure by holding the protein together and giving it its shape.(Link may not show up). | The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrogen_bonds/1'>Hydrogen Bonds</scene> of the backbone are shown in yellow.

The enzyme has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrophobic_residues/2'>Hydrophobic Residues</scene> (blue)that are located are the inside of the protein. This makes sense because the enzyme is surrounded by water, and thus these residues would want to be as far away from this as possible. The enzyme also has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrophillic/1'>Hydrophillic</scene> residues (purple) located on the outside, which have an affinity for water and allow for the enzyme to move and function in the water and let substrate reach the active site. | The enzyme has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrophobic_residues/2'>Hydrophobic Residues</scene> (blue)that are located are the inside of the protein.

The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Ligand_interraction/1'>ligand</scene> in the center of the protein has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Catalytic_residues/1'>Catalytic Residues</scene> that allow binding to occur. The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Solvent/1'>water</scene> can't interract with the ligand, because it is centrally located. This allows the active site not to be interfered with, and allows the enzyme to function properly. | The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Ligand_interraction/1'>ligand</scene> (orange) in the center of the protein has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Catalytic_residues/1'>Catalytic Residues</scene> (yellow) that allow binding to occur. The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Solvent/1'>water</scene> (maroon) can't interract with the ligand, because it is centrally located. This allows the active site not to be interfered with, and allows the enzyme to function properly. | ||
