Structure and domain dynamics of human lactoferrin in solution and the influence of Fe(III)-ion ligand binding
BACKGROUND: Human lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein of the innate immune system consisting of two connected lobes, each with a binding site located in a cleft. The clefts in each lobe undergo a hinge movement from open to close when Fe(3+) is present in the solution and can be bound. The bindin...
