Abstract excerpt
Mutations in human glucokinase are implicated in the development of diabetes and hypoglycemia. Human glucokinase shares 54% identical amino acid residues with human brain hexokinase I. This similarity was used to model the structure of glucokinase by analogy to the crystal structure of brain hexokinase. Glucokinase was modeled with both its substrates, glucose and MgATP, to understand the effect of mutations. The...
