Function of your Protein This is an adhesion protein it binds to a host cell (human epithelial cell) to provide a host cell recognition to invade the human cell. Important amino acids The type of protein that we are looking at is an adhesion protein, so it does not function as an enzyme. It does not have a catalytic triad within the active site. Though there are some important amino acid residues to highlight as they interact with the ligand (lactose). In the diagram of the protein, we can look to see the red ball stick structures by the ligand are the amino acid residues interacting with the ligand. These would be Arg258, Asp257, Asp196, and Asp197. They are all interacting via hydrogen bonds. Other important features This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
