X-ray crystallographic studies on butyryl-ACP reveal flexibility of the structure around a putative acyl chain binding site. Structure 10, 825-835. doi: 10.1016/S0969-2126(02)00775-XRoujeinikova, A., Baldock, C., Simon, W.J., Gilroy, J., Baker, P.J., Stuitje, A.R., Rice, D....
Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an essential cofactor in biosynthesis of fatty acids and many other reactions that require acyl transfer steps. We have determined the first crystal structures of an acylated form of ACP from E. coli, that of butyryl-ACP. Our analysis of the molecular surface of...
Determination of the X-Ray Crystallographic Structure of E.coli Butyryl-ACPAcyl Carrier Protein [ACP] is a small acidic protein which is an essential component of the type 2, dissociable fatty acid synthetase [1]. ACP is synthesised as an apo-protein and posttranslationally modified, by the ...
