GO:0005829 The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. GO:0051539 Binding to a 4 iron, 4 sulfur (4Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of four iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands. GO:0070284 Catalysis of the reaction: 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 4-amino-2-methyl-5-(phosphooxymethyl)pyrimidine + CO + 5'-deoxyadenosine + formate + L-methionine + 3 H+. GO:0008270 Binding to a zinc ion (Zn). GO:0009228 The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of thiamine (vitamin B1), a water soluble vitamin present in fresh vegetables and meats, especially liver. GO:0009229 The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of thiamine diphosphate, a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) which acts as a coenzyme in a range of processes including the Krebs cycle.

Ligand evidence

Ligands grouped by evidence source. PDB ligands keep the source crystal visible, and loaded crystals can be opened directly in the structure viewer.

53 records

Highest-confidence structural evidence: ligands co-crystallized with this exact protein. If the source PDB is loaded in TPW, use Open crystal to inspect it in the structure viewer.

No PDB structure with a co-crystallized ligand found for this exact protein.

Structural evidence inferred from similar proteins. The source crystal indicates where the ligand was observed; the UniProt column identifies the homologous protein carrying that ligand.
