MqnA is a homodimer composed of two molecules connected by linkers that lead to beta sheets which then lead to alpha helices. This structure drives function by allowing it to maintain its specific venus flytrap fold conformation when bound to the ligand. Finally, when considering the main product of the reaction, 3-EPB it is important to know that the substrate's binding site is only partially occupied in the less ordered orthorhombic chain A, suggesting that 3-EPB binding draws residues of lobe 2 toward the active site." | MqnA is a homodimer composed of two molecules connected by linkers that lead to beta sheets which then lead to alpha helices.

Orthorhombic chain A also had less electron density, meaning it could take more than one conformation. | ||
