Abstract excerpt
The (betaalpha)8-barrel, which is the most frequently encountered protein fold, is generally considered to consist of a single structural domain. However, the X-ray structure of the imidazoleglycerol phosphate synthase (HisF) from Thermotoga maritima has identified it as a (betaalpha) 8-barrel made up of two superimposable subdomains (HisF-N and HisF-C). HisF-N consists of the four N-terminal (betaalpha) units...
