CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF INTERLEUKIN 8: SYMBIOSIS OF NMR AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
Contents |
Overview
The crystal structure of a host defense system chemotactic factor, interleukin 8, has been solved by molecular replacement using as a model, the solution structure derived from nuclear magnetic resonance, experiments. The structure was refined with 2 A x-ray data to an R factor, of 0.187 (0.217 at 1.6 A). A comparison indicates some potential, differences between the structure in solution and in the crystalline, state. Our analysis also predicts that residues 4 through 9 on the amino, terminus and the beta-bend, which includes His-33, may be important for, receptor binding.
Disease
Known disease associated with this structure: AIDS, slow progression to OMIM:[146929]
