Two crystal structures of Bombyx mori lipoprotein 3 - structural characterization of a new 30-kDa lipoprotein family member.

The 30-kDa family of lipoproteins from insect hemolymph has been the focus of a number of studies over the last few years. Recently, four crystal structures of Bombyx mori lipoprotein 7 have been determined. Here we report two crystal structures of another member of the 30-kDa lipoprotein family, Bo...
