Adenylate | <scene name='Sandbox_46/1ake_main/2'>Adenylate kinase</scene> is a enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2 units of ADP into a unit of ATP and a unit of AMP. It is because of this catalytic role that adenylate kinase is an important part of homeostasis. | ||

The <scene name='Sandbox_46/1ake_secondary/1'>secondary structure</scene> of adenylate kinase shows alpha helices (blue) and beta sheets (teal) surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue. | The <scene name='Sandbox_46/1ake_secondary/1'>secondary structure</scene> of adenylate kinase shows alpha helices (blue) and beta sheets (teal) surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue. The enzyme is comprised of 9 helices and 9 sheets constituting the secondary structure. As with any enzyme, the <scene name='Sandbox_46/1ake_hydrogen/1'>hydrogen bonds</scene> between the residues of the peptide chains supply the final folded protein with structural stability to remain folded. | ||
