Generic protein structure example

eEF1A lysine and N-terminal methyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the METTL13 gene.[1][2][3] The METTL13 protein is involved in regulating messenger RNA translation through methylation.[4] In particular it methylates EEF1A1 and EEF1A2 at the residue ‘Gly-2’, and dimethylates them at ‘Lys-55’.[4]
