Motion in Formate Dehydrogenase (FDH) [fdh]

[ jump to morphs ]

Classification Known Domain Motion, Hinge Mechanism [D-h-2]

Description
2 interdomain linkages, 2 hinges, 7.5 degree rotation. Upon binding coenzyme, one domain rotates relative to the other to close over the active site. Each of the two hinges occurs in the middle of an alpha helix.

Particular values describing motion
Annotation Level (1..10) = 8
Maximum CA displacement (A) = 5.5
