Targeted removal of the FA2 site on human albumin prevents fatty acid–mediated inhibition of Zn2+ binding
Zinc is required for virtually all biological processes. In plasma, Zn2+ is predominantly transported by human serum albumin (HSA), which possesses two Zn2+-binding sites of differing affinities (sites A and B). Fatty acids (FAs) are also transported by HSA, with seven structurally characterized FA-...
