5y6n is a 1 chain protein of 438 residues.
5y6n is a 1 chain protein of 438 residues.
There are 2 main activities: ATP binding and helicase activity.
There are 2 main activities: ATP binding and helicase activity.
Helicase from Zika virus with a specific domain : a serine protease. It is a specific class of protein that hydrolysis peptide bonds from proteins.  
Helicase from Zika virus with a specific domain : a serine protease. It is a specific class of protein that hydrolysis peptide bonds from proteins.
The helicase active site has a serine residue that serves as a nucleophilic amino acid. This residue is essential for the catalytic activity of the enzyme.The serine protases present a catalytic triad composed of 3 amino acids His57 Asp102 and Ser195.These 3 amino acids interaction is due to the folding of the protein and allows to cleave the substrate by attacking its carbonyl group.
There are two ligands: ADP and Manganese II ion
The helicase active site has a serine residue that serves as a nucleophilic amino acid. This residue is essential for the catalytic activity of the enzyme.The serine protases present a catalytic triad composed of 3 amino acids His57 Asp102 and Ser195.These 3 amino acids have a specific interaction which is due to the folding of the protein. The tridimentional conformation of the protein brings closer these 3 residues. Their side chains have a specific function :
Ser195: the hydroxyl group plays the role of a nucleophile that attack the substrate.
His57: the nitrogen receives an hydrogen from the hydroxyl group of Ser195.
Asp102: this amino acid allows to increase the electronegativity of His157 nitrogen by making hydrogen bond with His157.
All these reactions allows to cleave the substrate by attacking its carbonyl group.
