Determination of the structures of fibroblast growth factors and interleukin-1s has previously revealed that they both adopt a beta-trefoil fold, similar to those found in Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitors, ricin-like toxins, plant agglutinins and hisactophilin. These families possess distinct funct...
