4ZIE, 4ZIF, 4ZIG, 4ZIH, 4ZII - PubMed Abstract: 
The BH3-only protein Bim is a potent direct activator of the proapoptotic effector protein Bax, but the structural basis for its activity has remained poorly defined. Here we describe the crystal structure of the BimBH3 peptide bound to BaxΔC26 and structure-based mutagenesis studies ...
