Abstract excerpt
β-trefoil fold, consisting of a six stranded β-barrel capped at one end by a lid comprising of another six β-strands, is one of the most important folds among proteins. Important classes of proteins like Interleukins (ILs), Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs), Kunitz (STI) family of inhibitors etc. belong to this fold. Their core is packed by hydrophobic residues contributed by the 6 stranded β-barrel and three...
