Phosphoglucose isomerase exists in the cell usually as a <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Dimer/1'>homodimer</scene>, nevertheless outside of the cell, it has been isolated as <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Monomer/1'>monomeric</scene> structure. PGI has essentially an identical fold in all of the characterized species (see figure). The <scene name='Stancu_Phosphoglucoisomerase_Sandbox_1/Sec_struct/1'>secondary structure</scene> of phosphoglucose isomerase is charaterized by an αβα conformation, on each of its two domains. The smaller domain is characterized by 5 parallel β-sheets, while the larger domain if formed out of 6 parallel/antiparallel β-sheets. | |||
