Glucokinase is a protein contains 465 amino acid residues which make up two domains, including a <scene name='75/752269/Small_domain__green/1'>small domain</scene> and a <scene name='75/752269/Small_domain__green/1'>large domain</scene>. | Glucokinase is a protein contains 465 amino acid residues which make up two domains, including a <scene name='75/752269/Small_domain__green/1'>small domain</scene> and a <scene name='75/752269/Small_domain__green/1'>large domain</scene>. | ||
When glucose molecule binds to the <scene name='75/752269/Gkactivesite_glucose/ | When glucose molecule binds to the <scene name='75/752269/Gkactivesite_glucose/4'>active site</scene> of glucoskinase, it forms hydrogen bonds with <scene name='75/752269/Gkactivesite_glucose/2'>Asn 204, Asp 205, Asn 231, Glu 256 and Glu 290</scene>. At the <scene name='75/752269/Gkallosteric/1'>allosteric site</scene>, either glucokinase activators (GKA) or glucokinase inhibitor (GKI) will bind to regulate the activity of glucokinase by changing the confirmation. JSmol structure shows an example of GK-GKA complex, where the GKA bind to the allosteric site. | ||
