Abstract excerpt
The structure of Escherichia coli-derived rat intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) exhibits a beta-clam topology comprised of two five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheets surrounding a large solvent-filled cavity into which the ligand binds. It also contains two alpha-helices that span residues E15-A32 and join beta-strands A and B. This helical domain is conserved in all proteins of this family for which...
