Adenylate kinase is a protein that is found in the bacterium ''yersinia pestis''. It consists of two chains, <scene name='Sandbox_42/Wes_-_1ake/1'>Chain A</scene> and Chain B. The <scene name='Sandbox_42/Wes_-_secondary_structure/1'>secondary structure</scene> is highlighted here, with alpha helices (shown in green) and beta sheets (blue). <scene name='Sandbox_42/Wes_-_hydrogen_bonds/1'>Hydrogen bonds</scene> are shown in black. These bonds show that the beta sheets are connected in parallel, as the hydrogen bonds are angled and not parallel to one another. | Adenylate kinase is a protein that is found in the bacterium ''yersinia pestis''. It consists of two chains, <scene name='Sandbox_42/Wes_-_1ake/1'>Chain A</scene> and Chain B. The two chains are identical and so structural elements can be examined by focusing on one chain. | ||
