Adenylate KinaseAdenylate kinase is a enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2 units of ADP into a unit of ATP and a unit of AMP. It is because of this catalytic role that adenylate kinase is an important part of homeostasis. StructureThe secondary structure of adenylate kinase shows alpha helices (blue) and beta sheets (teal) surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue. The enzyme is comprised of 9 helices and 9 sheets constituting the secondary structure. As with any enzyme, the hydrogen bonds between the residues of the peptide chains supply the final folded protein with structural stability to remain folded. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues are represented in grey and purple respectively. |
