It consists of two chains, Chain A and Chain B. The two chains are identical and so structural elements can be examined by focusing on one chain. The space filling section of the protein is the ligand, which is bound to the active site in this representation. Structural Elements The secondary structure is highlighted here, with alpha helices (shown in green) and beta sheets (blue). Hydrogen bonds are shown in black. These bonds show that the beta sheets are connected in parallel, as the hydrogen bonds are angled and not parallel to one another. hydrophobic residues in gray polar and charged residues in brown Water in yellow - secondary structure Water in yellow - ball/stick ligand and interacting side chains are shown here in stick/wire representation, with the rest of the protein semi-transparent.
