='''Interferon-β'''=
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_adenylate_kinase_37/1'>Adenylate Kinase</scene> protein is shown here with alpha helices (cyan) and beta sheets (green) surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue (orange).


===Introduction===
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_helix_beta_colored/1'>Secondary Structure</scene> of the protein is shown here with alpha helices (green) and beta sheets (blue) highlighted appropriately.


===History===
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_hydrogen_bonds_good/1'>Hydrogen Bonds</scene> of chain A of the protein are highlighted in orange here.
==Structure==
<StructureSection load='1IFA' size='400' align='right' caption='Interferon-β' scene='Sandbox_37/Interferon_beta/1'></StructureSection>


Interferon-β is a relatively simple biological response modifier consisting of five <scene name='Sandbox_37/Ifnb_alpha_helices/1'>alpha helices</scene>. There are no beta sheets, but, in addition to the alpha helices, only multiple interconnecting <scene name='Sandbox_37/Ifnb_loops/1'>loop regions</scene>. Helices A, B and D run <scene name='Sandbox_37/Ifnb_parallel_abd/1'>parallel to one another</scene>, and helices C and E run <scene name='Sandbox_37/Interferon_beta/3'>anti-parallel</scene> to the other three helices.
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_hydrophobic_good/1'>Hydrophobic Interactions</scene> are shown here in red.

<ref name="UniProt">http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P00784</ref>
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_hydrophilic_good/1'>Hydrophilic Interactions</scene> are shown here in black.
===Solvent Interactions===


The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_solvent/1'>Solvent</scene> , which is water, is shown here in red. Water's primary location is on the outer parts of the protein, or the hydrophilic regions.


===Mechanism===
The side chains that interact with the <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_ligand/1'>ligand</scene> are shown here in crimson. The interactions occur with the hydrophobic side chains. The rest of the protein is faded blue.


 
The <scene name='Sandbox_37/Matt_catalytic_residues/1'>catalytic residues</scene> of this protein are shown here in lime green.
==Inhibition==
