1IJ9 - PubMed Abstract: 
An X-ray crystal structure of two N-terminal integrin-binding IgSF domains of human VCAM-1 is reported. This new crystal form shows an unusual and highly hydrated packing arrangement in which over 80% of the crystal is occupied by solvent. The relative orientations of the two domains adopt a new intermediate conformation ...
