Abstract excerpt
The interaction of ATP with the active site of hexokinase is unknown since the crystal structure of the hexokinase-ATP complex is unavailable. It was found that the ATP binding site of brain hexokinase is homologous to that of actin, heat shock protein hsc70, and glycerol kinase. On the basis of these similarities, the ATP molecule was positioned in the catalytic domain of human brain hexokinase, which was...
