Sandbox Reserved 1709: Difference between revisions

The <scene name='90/904314/Anchor_domain/1'>Anchor Domain</scene> sticks out from the side of VKOR with the primary role of stabilizing the enzyme within the membrane. To accomplish this, hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues are highly conserved with hydrophilic residues located to interact with the outer hydrophilic leaflet of the bilipid membrane, while the hydrophobic residues on the anchor have strong interactions with the inner hydrophobic leaflet of the bilipid membrane. These sufficient interactions allow for VKOR to remain in the proper arrangement and proximity within the membrane for Vitamin K to properly bind to be activated to achieve its biological function.
