Abstract excerpt
Human prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) is a lipocalin-type enzyme involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and plays a key role in the regulation of sleep, allergy, pain sensation, and the development of male reproductive organs. Here, using a combination of crystallographic, biochemical, mutagenesis, and kinetic studies, we have gained insights into the mode of ligand binding by human L-PGDS and have...
