Barley lipid-transfer protein complexed with palmitoyl CoA: the structure reveals a hydrophobic binding site that can expand to fit both large and small lipid-like ligands

Background: Plant nonspecific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) bind a variety of very different lipids in vitro, including phospholipids, glycolipids, fatty acids and acyl coenzyme As. In this study we have determined the structure of a nsLTP complexed with palmitoyl coenzyme A (PCoA) in order to fu...
