The protein is a dimer that contains <scene name='93/934001/Secondary_structure/1'>14 helices and 15 beta sheets</scene> per linked molecule. The ARG 148 forms hydrogen bonds that allow it to pair with Oleic Acid, the protein’s ligand. Protein also requires H2O to be present in order to bind its <scene name='93/934001/Ligand/1'>ligand</scene>. I found it really interesting that the protein only actually attaches to the ligand via small interaction between ARG 148 and water molecules.
