Upon forming a ternary complex of RK, ribose and nucleotide the RK dimer changes its open form to a closed one. The ribose substrate is seen between a small β-sheel domain and the concave side of the central β sheet<ref>PMID:30822455</ref>. | Upon forming a ternary complex of RK, ribose and nucleotide the RK dimer changes its open form to a closed one.
