1LPN, 1LPO, 1LPP - PubMed Abstract: 
The structures of Candida rugosa lipase-inhibitor complexes demonstrate that the scissile fatty acyl chain is bound in a narrow, hydrophobic tunnel which is unique among lipases studied to date. Modeling of triglyceride binding suggests that the bound lipid must adopt a "tuning fork" conformation ...
