Sandbox 44: Difference between revisions

  The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Secondary_structures/1'>Secondary Structure</scene> of Adenylate Kinase consists of alpha helices (purple) and the beta sheets(lime green). There are seven sheets and 12 helices. The <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrogen_bonds/1'>Hydrogen Bonds</scene> of the backbone are shown in yellow. They provide the structure by holding the protein together and giving it its shape.(Link may not show up). The enzyme has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrophobic_residues/2'>Hydrophobic Residues</scene> that are located are the inside of the protein. This makes sense because the enzyme is surrounded by water, and thus these residues would want to be as far away from this as possible. The enzyme also has <scene name='Sandbox_44/Hydrophillic/1'>Hydrophillic</scene> residues located on the outside, which have an affinity for water and allow for the enzyme to move and function in the water and let substrate reach the active site.
