You may include any references to papers as in: the use of JSmol in Proteopedia or to the article describing Jmol to the rescue. Biological Function Caspase-6 is a protease involved in apoptosis. It is most notably involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Structural Overview Inactive State When the protein is in the inactive state it is a Homotetramer. Active State Caspase-6 enters the active state by self-cleaving at residue 193 after a sequence of TEVD. The protein then becomes a Tetramer of Dimers. Mechanism of Action Mechanism is unknown as of right now. The active sight is known to be HIS-121, CYS-163, and GLU-174. Other Ligands This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
