Abstract excerpt
The X-ray structure of bovine Odorant Binding Protein (bOBP) revealed its association as a domain swapped dimer. bOBP, devoid of any cysteines, contrasts with other mammalian OBPs, which are monomeric and possess at least one disulfide bridge. We have produced a mutant of bOBP in which a glycine residue was inserted after position 121. This mutation yielded a monomeric bOBP-121Gly+ in which domain swapping has...
