Abstract excerpt
Integrin alpha5beta1 is a key receptor for the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. Antagonists of human integrin alpha5beta1 have therapeutic potential as anti-angiogenic agents in cancer and diseases of the eye. However, the structure of the integrin is unsolved and the atomic basis of fibronectin and antagonist binding by integrin alpha5beta1 is poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that...
