The N-terminal FAD-Domain exists in each monomer subunit of GlpD and is embedded into the phospholipid membrane bilayer.Substrate binding occurs at this domain which causes a conformational change to the structure of the GlpD enzyme. The FAD-domain plays a major role in metabolism and energy synthesis. | The N-terminal FAD-Domain exists in each monomer subunit of GlpD and is embedded into the phospholipid membrane bilayer.Substrate binding occurs at this domain which causes a conformational change to the structure of the GlpD enzyme. The FAD-domain plays a major role in metabolism and energy synthesis. The active site is found in a cleft between the two domains<ref>PMID:14717590</ref>. | ||
