To dig deeper and better understand the protein, you can see where the <scene name='86/861621/Protein_view_2/3'>ligand is bound to the protein</scene>. However, these ligands aren't entirely that important to the active site. The ligands shown are there to help stabilize the structure. The actual important enzyme of the active site is actually the activation peptide(AP). This AP [[Image:AP.PNG]] is made up of amino acid residues of ASN345 (asparagine), GLN346 (glutamine), ARG347 (arginine), which form<scene name='86/861621/Catalytic_triad/1'> the catalytic triad</scene> and where the cleavage happens. This cleavage [[Image:Cleavage.png]] basically splits the sequence in half of prime and nonprime on either side of the split. Then, the split sequences then take on a cyclic formation. This cyclic formation is crucial for the protein to remain in homeostasis. | To dig deeper and better understand the protein, you can see where the <scene name='86/861621/Protein_view_2/3'>ligand is bound to the protein</scene>.
