The specific function of my protein is that it is an enzyme that comes from bacteria called ''Bacillus cereus''. Its main function is to catalyze the chemical reaction by turning UDP-glucose into UDP- galactose in sugar-containing metabolites. It does this by flipping the chiral center. The PBD of this protein in 6ZLK and it contains 3 ligands. The 3 ligands are UGB, NAD, and UGA. I am focussing on is UGB. | The specific function of my protein is that it is an enzyme that comes from bacteria called ''Bacillus cereus''. Its main function is to catalyze the chemical reaction by turning UDP-glucose into UDP- galactose in sugar-containing metabolites. It does this by flipping the chiral center. The PBD of this protein in '''6ZLK''' and it contains 3 ligands. The 3 ligands are UGB, NAD, and UGA. I am focussing on is UGB. The substrate in our Protein is NAD+. In our protein, the substrate and product bound enzymes to co-exist which creates an equilibrium structure. The product is UDP-GlcA and it reacts with the substrate NAD+ which creates the product of UDP- GalA. | ||
