Question

1- Give a single sentence description of the probable role of each ligand (point out if something is the solvent, or if something is a coenzyme or a metal ion cofactor, etc.).

NEED HELP WITH. EXPLANATION ABOUT THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF THE LIGAND, IF ITS A SOLVENT, COENZYME OR METAL ION COFCTOR. TO SOLVE IT YOU GO TO https://www.rcsb.org/3d-view/1DV1?preset=ligandInteraction&sele=PO4 THIS DIRECT LINK TO THE PDB. OR GO TO http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ INPUT THE PDB 1DV1 AND IT BRINGS OUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT IT, THEN YOU CAN GO TO THE PART OF SMALL MOLECULES AND IT CLICK 3D INTERACTION TO GET A GOOD VIEW OF THE LIGAND WHICH SHOULD BE (PO4) THEN PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Explanation / Answer

Ligand is a molecule which produces a signal by binding to its target protein through intermolecular forces like ionic bond, H bond, Vanderwall forces.

Biotin carboxylase is an enzyme that catalyses ATPdependent carbolatiom of biotin .

In the 3D structure the PO4 binding ligands can be ADP or AMPPCP.

PO4 acts as a ligand binding site.
