How to identify active site residues:
- They should be conserved in the sequence of the enzyme from all species.
- They should be close in space
- They should account for the known data (e.g. pH effect on enzyme kinetics.
Use the following to display individual residues
You can display/hide the sidechains of the following residues:
You can display more than one residue by using the console:
- Right click over the JMol window, a pop-up menu should appear.
- Select "Console", a box with yellow borders should appear.
- In the lower text window type the following to display residues 29, 45, and 57:
- select 29,45,57
- wireframe 0.6
- Color CPK
- To remove the wireframe, enter "wireframe off"
You can label your selected residues as follows:
- Open the console if it has been closed
- Select (29, 45, 57) and *.ca
- label %n%R
- color labels black
