e/ATP-binding motif

New Query

Information
has glosseng: An ATP-Binding Motif is a specific sequence of protein subunits (and hence genomic DNA base pairs) that promotes the attachment of ATP to a target protein. An ATP binding site is a protein micro-environment where ATP is captured and hydrolyzed to ADP, releasing energy that is utilized by the protein to "do work" by changing the protein shape and/or making the enzyme catalytically active. The same ATP binding motif is used in many proteins: hence a "motif" that is similar across a range of proteins. The genetic and functional similarity of such a motif demonstrates micro-evolution: proteins have co-opted the same binding sequence from other enzymes rather than developing them independently.
