The type of protein that we are looking at is an adhesion protein, so it does not function as an enzyme. It does not have a catalytic triad within the active site. Though there are some important amino acid residues to highlight as they interact with the ligand (lactose). In the diagram of the protein, we can look to see the all-red ball stick structures by the ligand are the amino acid residues interacting with the ligand. <scene name='86/861614/Protein_view_2/5'>These would be Arg258, Asp257, Asp196, and Asp197.</scene>. They are all interacting via hydrogen bonds. | The type of protein that we are looking at is an adhesion protein, so it does not function as an enzyme.
