Fatty acid induced remodeling within the Human liver fatty acid binding protein J.Biol.Chem., 2011 Cited by PubMed Abstract: We crystallized human liver fatty acid-binding protein (LFABP) in apo, holo, and intermediate states of palmitic acid engagement. Structural snapshots of fatty acid recognition, entry, and docking within LFABP support a heads-in mechanism for ligand entry. Apo-LFABP undergoes structural remodeling, where the first palmitate ingress creates the atomic environment for placement of the second palmitate. These new mechanistic insights will facilitate development of pharmacological agents against LFABP. PubMed: 21757748 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.M111.270165 PDB entries with the same primary citation
