Motion in Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) [mdh]

[ jump to morphs ]

Classification Known Fragment Motion, Hinge Mechanism [F-h-2]

Structures 4MDH Conformation 1 [ PartsList ]

Description Comparison of subunits shows a loop closure similar to LDH, moving atom CA atoms up to 8 Angstrom. Motion is evident in comparing different subunits in the asymmetric unit. Single data bank identifier applies for both forms.

Particular values describing motion Creation Date = 19970822 Modification Date = 19970822 Experimental Methods = x (Traditional x-ray)
