DescriptionAdenylate Kinase, also known as ADK, is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of phosphate between ATP and AMP. It plays an important role in cell maintenance and cell growth being involved with energy metabolism, signaling, and nucleotide synthesis. The enzyme is found in many different organisms, and the following images shows the structure of Adenylate kinase from Yersinia pestis, also known as yeast. StructureAdenylate kinase is made up of 214 amino acids, and the backbone of the protein can be seen on the right in light blue surrounding the non-hydrolysable substrate analogue (red). The secondary_structure of the protein contains 12 alpha helices (yellow) and 7 beta sheets (green). This secondary structure is held together by hydrogen_bonds, which are anti-parallel between the beta sheets.
