This article was originally published with the title “ The Three-Dimensional Structure of an Enzyme Molecule ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 215 No. 5 (November 1966), p. 78 doi:10.1038 ...
Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...
Thus, understanding the interplay between structure, dynamics and function of enzymes in solution is an important goal in modern biochemistry. Generations of students have been introduced to this ...
The specific structure of a protein is key to its function in the same way that the shapes of everyday objects are. For example, much like a spoon is designed to hold liquid in a way that a knife ...
The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional structure that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, much like a lock and key. This specificity ensures that enzymes catalyze only the ...
Therefore, Asp 278, Asn 466 and Asn 467 may also have important roles in the catalysis by malic enzymes. Structure refinement of the ME-oxalate complex was carried out with the program X-PLOR 26 ...
