Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from the fungus Cochliobolus lunatus (17beta-HSDcl) is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily. SDR proteins usually function as dimers or tetramers and 17beta-HSDcl is also a homodimer under native conditions. RESULTS: We have investigated here which secondary structure elements are involved in the dimerization of 17beta-HSDcl and...
