The residues of the glucose binding site of Hexokinase Type I are very highly conserved within the hexokinase sequence; glucose binds equally to both domains or "lobes" of the structure. As a result, hexokinase type I in its native conformation has an active site in its inactive regulatory domains. Before glucose binds to hexokinase type I, it is said to be in an open conformation. ATP is already bound within one of the domains but it is situated a distance from the glucose binding site. As the glucose binds, the two domains close around the glucose substrate and this change results in a newly formed pattern of hydrogen bonding.<ref name="one" /> | The residues of the glucose binding site of Hexokinase Type I are very highly conserved within the hexokinase sequence; glucose binds equally to both domains or "lobes" of the structure.
