Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase is unstable in-vitro. To determine its structure an extra protein superfolder green flourescent protein (sGFP) was appended to the N and C termini of Vitamin K Epoxide. For the visualizing VKOR, this protein has been removed from the structural scenes. After sGFP was removed from the structural scenes, we further took the structure files and resequenced them to better align with the numbering of the protein. In these files the sequence slightly differs between the organisms used to view Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase. In the human version, HsVKOR, the catalytic cysteines that play an intricate role in the reduction of Vitamin K Epoxide are <scene name='90/904321/Cysteines/7'>cysteines</scene> 43, 51, 132, and 135. In the pufferfish version of the file, TrVKORL, the cysteines are 52, 55, 141, and 144. | Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase is unstable in-vitro.
