An
NTP binding site is a type of
binding site found in
nucleoside monophosphate (NMP)
kinases, N can be
adenosine or
guanosine. A
P-loop is one of the
structural motifs common for
nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) binding sites, it interacts with the bound nucleotide's
phosphoryl groups. For the binding site to be able to bind a nucleotide, the nucleotide must be complex bound to Mg
2+ og Mn
2+.
Nucleotide binding will cause conformational changes in the protein because the P-loop will bend.
