Abstract excerpt
The crystal structures of beta-lactoglobulin genetic variants A and B have been determined in the orthorhombic space group C222(1) (lattice Y) by X-ray diffraction at 2.0 A and 1.95 A resolution, respectively. The structural comparison shows that both variants exhibit the open conformation of the EF loop at the pH of crystallization (pH 7.9), in contrast to what has been reported for the same genetic variants at...
