Webpageintro Introduction All enzymes have at least one active site and some secondary structure.
Function is dependent upon structure.
This simple example explains the importance of position. If ,due to some mutation, the irons were buried within the molecule their ability to attract oxygen would be compromised. This web page was designed to show how the function of TIM is dependent upon its structure. The active structure of TIM is found as a dimer. Both function and structure are discussed in further detail on their corresponding pages.
