| - | '''β-lactoglobulin''' is a dimeric protein that exists in two forms. BLG A and BLG B, which differ by two mutations, one of which is a non-charged residue being replaced by an Aspartic Acid, which at relevant pH values is negatively charged. The result is a protein that exists in two isoforms, which differ by two negative charges (one per monomer). | + | '''β-lactoglobulin''' is a dimeric protein that exists in two forms.
