Adenylate kinase is a protein that is found in the bacterium ''yersinia pestis''. It consists of two chains, <scene name='Sandbox_42/Wes_-_1ake/1'>Chain A</scene> 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. | Adenylate kinase is a protein that is found in the bacterium ''yersinia pestis''.
