Function of Lactose PermeaseFunction of Lactose Permease

(Caption)

Lactose Permease is a transmembrane protein that facilitates the passage of lactose across the phospholipid bi-layer of the cell membrane. The transport mechanism used is an active co-transport that uses the inwardly directed H+ electrochemical gradient as its driving force. As a result, the lactose is accompanied from the periplasm to the cytoplasm of the cell by an H+ proton.

Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate found primarily in mammalian milk. It is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose. When lactose is ingested, it is brought into cells in the digestive system by the protein Lactose Permease. Here it is broken down into its monosaccharide subunits by the enzyme lactase so it may be used in the process of cellular respiration.

Model Image 1: Rapid Prototype Model

Model Image 2: Mini-Toober Model

The model shown in Model Image 1 to the left is an example of a physical model of the zinc finger protien. In this representation, the Alpha Helix is shown in Red, the Beta Sheets are displayed in Yellow, and the Residues are represented in CPK color format (O=red, N=blue, C=gray, S=yellow). The Zinc Atom in this structure is colored Red.

The model in Model Image 2 shown to the right is an example of a 'mini-toober' model. The side chains are again displayed in CPK color format. The zinc atom in this example is displayed in green.

In this representation, the Alpha Helix is shown in Red, the Beta Sheets are displayed in Yellow, and the Residues are represented in CPK color format (O=red, N=blue, C=gray, S=yellow). The Zinc Atom in this structure is colored Red.

This model is an example of a 'Mini-Toober' model. The backbone is created by the folding of a 'Mini-Toober,' the sidechains are depicted in CPK color format, and the zinc atom is shown in green.
