As can be seen, pyruvate kinase's <scene name='Keegan_Gelvoria_Sandbox_1/Secondary_structure/1'>secondary structure</scene> comprises of <scene name='Keegan_Gelvoria_Sandbox_1/Structure_4_domains/1'>four domains</scene> in humans. Thus, this enzyme is tetrameric with <scene name='Keegan_Gelvoria_Sandbox_1/Metal_binding_sites/1'>metal binding sites</scene> on each domain for the K+ and Mg2+ ligands to bind to. There are four types of tissue-specific isozymes: L (liver), R (red blood cells), M1 (muscle, heart, and brain), and M2 (early fetal tissue)<ref>{{web site| title=SCOP: Protein: Pyruvate kinase (PK) from Human (Homo sapiens) [TaxId: 9606]|url=http://scop.berkeley.edu/data/scop.b.c.jh.b.b.d.html|}}</ref>. | As can be seen, pyruvate kinase's <scene name='Keegan_Gelvoria_Sandbox_1/Secondary_structure/1'>secondary structure</scene> comprises of <scene name='Keegan_Gelvoria_Sandbox_1/Structure_4_domains/1'>four domains</scene> in humans.
