The specific function of my protein is that it is an enzyme that comes from bacteria called ''Bacillus cereus''. Its main function is to catalyze the chemical reaction by turning UDP-glucose into UDP- galactose in sugar-containing metabolites. It does this by flipping the chiral center.

The PBD of this protein in <scene name='86/861622/6zlk/7'>6ZLK</scene> and contains 3 ligands. The 3 ligands are UGB, NAD, and UGA. I am focusing on UGB. The substrate in our Protein is NAD+. In our protein, the substrate and product bound enzymes to co-exist which creates an equilibrium structure. The product is UDP-GlcA. | ||
the cofactor is the NAD+ which creates the product of UDP- GalA. Our protein is pretty large and it's a great characteristic of a protein to be large because it determines whether the protein can interact with other molecules. | |||
