1XL7, 1XL8, 1XMC, 1XMD - PubMed Abstract: 
Carnitine acyltransferases have crucial functions in fatty acid metabolism. Members of this enzyme family show distinctive substrate preferences for short-, medium- or long-chain fatty acids. The molecular mechanism for this substrate selectivity is not clear as so far only the structure of carnitine acetyltransferase has been determined ...
