My protease has a globular structure with beta sheets alpha
My protease has a globular structure with beta sheets, alpha helix and many sharp turns. It has a pocket where it binds amino acids and it has a flexible hinge that is regulated to cover the pocket so the enzyme can be turned off. Match the amino acid to the MOST APPROPRIATE location in/on the enzyme.
open hinge closed hinge
cysteine
proline
glycine
histidine
phenylalanine
serine
A.
none of these
B.
a sharp fixed turn in the protein backbone
C.
a flexible hinge
D.
the active site
E.
internal within the enzyme
F.
external on the enzyme
