The secondary structural elements of Lipase, including the <scene name='Sandbox_49/Beta_sheets_test_1/1'>Beta Sheets</scene> that make up 30 percent of the amino acid chain, and involving 139 residues as well as the <scene name='Sandbox_49/Alpha_helices_1/1'>Alpha Helices</scene> that make up 22 percent and 102 residues characterize the structure of the protein. | The secondary structural elements of Lipase, including the <scene name='Sandbox_49/Beta_sheets_test_1/1'>Beta Sheets</scene> that make up 30 percent of the amino acid chain, and involving 139 residues as well as the <scene name='Sandbox_49/Alpha_helices_1/1'>Alpha Helices</scene> that make up 22 percent and 102 residues characterize the structure of the protein. | ||
Important for the tertiary structure of the protein, are several different factors that function to hold each of the domains together in the proper orientation, the <scene name='Sandbox_49/Lipase_hydrohpobic_residues/1'>hydrophobic residues</scene> certainly make a difference as one might expect, since all proteins generally fold to shield these from interaction with water, the cysteine residues that Lipase has also play a major role since they form <scene name='Sandbox_49/Disulfide_bonds/1'>Disulfide Bonds</scene>, Lipase has 12 disulfide bonds in all. | |||
Lipase also has a <scene name='Sandbox_49/Ca_ligands/1'>Ca Ligand</scene> that noncovalently binds to residues: Glu 187, Arg 190, Asp 192, Asp 195. There is one Calcium ion bound per chain in the enzyme. | Lipase also has a <scene name='Sandbox_49/Ca_ligands/1'>Ca Ligand</scene> that noncovalently binds to residues: Glu 187, Arg 190, Asp 192, Asp 195.
