Solution structure, copper binding and backbone dynamics of recombinant Ber e 1-the major allergen from Brazil nut.

PubMed Abstract: The 2S albumin Ber e 1 is the major allergen in Brazil nuts. Previous findings indicated that the protein alone does not cause an allergenic response in mice, but the addition of components from a Brazil nut lipid fraction were required. Structural details of Ber e 1 may contribute to the understanding of the allergenic properties of the protein and its potential interaction partners.
