HU is used in medicine to speed drug delivery. Hyaluronic acid (HUA) is a popular dermal filler material. | |||
== Structural highlights == | |||
HU structure contains an <scene name='49/497055/Cv/8'>N-terminal, linker and C-terminal domains</scene>. The active site is in a cleft in the N-terminal domain. Two HUA molecules are bound in the active site making contacts with some HU residues and multiple contacts with water molecules<ref>PMID:10843845</ref>. | |||
<scene name='49/497055/Cv/9'>1st active site of HU</scene>. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. | |||
