  ABSTRACT  
 
The high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of human alpha-lactalbumin (at 1.8 A) in the presence of an elevated level of calcium reveals a new secondary calcium binding site, 7.9 A away from the primary calcium binding site known in all alpha-lactalbumin structures so far. The new calcium binding site is different from the zinc and sulfate binding sites [Ren, J., et al. (1993) J. but shares common features with the manganese binding site as described by Gerkin [Gerkin, T. A. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 4688-4697]. The proximity of the manganese and calcium binding region and the location of the functional site on one side of the charged surface of the alpha-lactalbumin molecule suggest that these binding sites might play a role in the formation of the lactose synthase complex.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time.
