High-resolution structure of Bombyx mori lipoprotein 7: crystallographic determination of the identity of the protein and its potential role in detoxification

Three crystal structures of a lipoprotein (Bmlp7) of unknown function, a member of the 30 kDa lipoprotein family from mulberry silkworm (B. mori L.) haemolymph, have been determined. The haemolymph-isolated protein was identified through successful sequence assignment according to electron-density maps at 1.33 Å resolution.

Structures of bovine, equine and leporine serum albumin

Four crystal structures of bovine, equine (two crystal forms) and leporine serum albumin have been determined at resolutions of 2.04-2.47 Å. The proteins were isolated from animal blood and additionally defatted and purified.
