=== Structural Overview ===
VKOR consists of four <scene name='90/904330/Transmembranehelices1/5'>transmembrane helices</scene> embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Helices one and two are connected by <scene name='90/904330/Betahairpin2/2'>Loop 1 and the beta hairpin</scene> region which contains two of the active cysteines, C43 and C51; these cysteines, along with C132 and C135, are essential for reduction and structural changes discussed in the next section<ref name="Liu">PMID:33154105</ref>. VKOR also has a cap domain consisting of a <b><span class="text-blue">helix</span></b>, <b><span class="text-green">loop</span></b>, and <b><span class="text-lightgreen">anchor</span></b>. The anchor serves to attach the cap domain to the ER membrane for stabilization<ref name="Liu">PMID:33154105</ref>. The loop helps stabilize one of the catalytic amino acids, Asn80<ref name="Liu">PMID:33154105</ref>. The helix is involved in stabilization of certain disulfide bonds and structural changes as part of the catalytic cycle discussed below<ref name="Liu">PMID:33154105</ref>.
