Every second inside every
living cell, thousands of chemical reactions are taking place. These reactions
constitute the essential tasks of life such as metabolism, protein synthesis,
cell renewal and growth. Learn how the proteins called enzymes work to maintain
the rate of these reactions at a life-sustaining level.
Based on atomic structures
from the PDB archive, observe the mechanism of aconitase, an enzyme of the
citric acid cycle, to understand how enzymes utilize their amino acid residues
to catalyze a reaction.
To learn more about
enzymes, explore the educational resources on PDB-101
(http://pdb101.rcsb.org/browse/enzymes).
