1JTB - PubMed Abstract: 
. Plant nonspecific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) bind a variety of very different lipids in vitro, including phospholipids, glycolipids, fatty acids and acyl coenzyme As. In this study we have determined the structure of a nsLTP complexed with palmitoyl coenzyme A (PCoA) in order to further our understanding of the structural mechanism of the broad specificity of these proteins and its relation to the function of nsLTPs in vivo.
