α-lactalbumin possesses a distinct zinc binding site
It has been proposed that the binding of Zn2+ to α-lactalbumin switches the conformation to one akin to a state intermediate in the folding of the protein. However, the high resolution x-ray crystal structure of human α-lactalbumin-Zn2+ complex at 1.7-Å resolution (pH 7.6) does not reveal any signif...
