Introduction:


Lactase is the name of the enzyme that is responsible for metabolizing any lactose that might be present in the human diet.  On the right is a 3-Dimensional representation of the lactase enzyme.  This enzyme consists of 4 identical proteins that assemble to make a tetramer.  Each of these individual subunits has the necessary structure to metabolize one molecule of lactose at a time.  Thus, at any particular moment in time, the lactase tetramer can be processing 4 molecules of lactose.
In this tutorial, you will take a tour of the basic structure of the lactase protein.
