Chromosome 1 open reading frame 41 Structure

Based on the DALI result, sialidases have similar structures to our protein. However, the sequence identity between our protein and sialidase proteins are small (~22). Sialidases are enzymes that cleave sialic acids from various glyco-conjugates (Newsted et al., 2005).

Another enzyme that our protein is similar in structure to is galactose oxidase. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of D-galactose to D-galacto-hexodialdose and H2O2 (Ito et al., 1991).

This protein's secondary structure consists of 2 alpha helices and 9 beta sheets.

Pymol structure displaying the folding of the secondary structure. Red is alpha helices, yellow is beta sheets and green is random coils connecting the the sheets and helices.
