Thymidylate synthase enzyme. Computer-generated molecular model of thymidylate synthase,an enzyme used in the synthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acids (DNA). Drug treatments (chemotherapy) for cancer often target this enzyme. The molecule has a protein backbone covered with a surface which is split into two units (magenta and blue). Synthases are enzymes which help to catalyse the synthesis of high-energy phosphate bonds. DNA molecules,which are an organism's genetic code,are made of long strands comprised of sugar and phosphate groups. Cancer is an illness caused by requires DNA synthesis | |
