Introduction

Adenylate Kinase is a good little protein.


Physical Properties

Structure

The secondary structure of adenylate kinase shows alpha helicies (cyan) and beta sheets (green) surrounding the non-hydrolyzable substrate analogue (orange). Adenylate kinase has a hydrophilic exterior, and a hydrophobic core, with additional hydrophilic residues on the interior contacting the ligand.

Active Site and Mechanism

residues within 7 angstroms of the ligand are involved in binding the ligand or stabilizing the active site.
