Model Description
Biologic Model of Penicillin Acylase Complex 1FXV 3D printed in full-color plastic.
Protein Description
The binding of penicillin to penicillin acylase was studied by X-ray crystallography. Binding of the substrate induces a conformational change, in which the side chains of alphaF146 and alphaR145 move away from the active site, which allows the enzyme to accommodate penicillin G.
