Abstract excerpt
Domain 1 of CD2 (CD2.D1) forms a conventional Ig fold stabilised by non-covalent antiparallel contacts between beta-strands. Removing two residues from the middle of the protein sequence, where the polypeptide chain normally folds back upon itself, stabilises an open conformation. In this modifie...
