Abstract excerpt
The neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are known to exist in solution as non-covalently linked homodimeric proteins. The recent elucidation of the crystal structure of the NGF homodimer, as well as the conservation of structural motifs in the neurotrophins, raised the possibility that neurotrophin heterodimers might also occur. The...
