BACKGROUND: Lactoferrin (Lf) is an 80kDa iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin
family. It is abundant in milk and in most biological fluids and is a cell-secreted molecule that …

Lactoferrin (Lf), a cationic glycoprotein able to chelate two ferric irons per molecule, is
synthesized by exocrine glands and neutrophils. Since the first anti-microbial function …

Lactoferrin (Lf), a prominent protein in milk, many other secretory fluids and white blood
cells, is a monomeric, 80-kDa glycoprotein, with a single polypeptide chain of about 690 …

The three-dimensional structure of diferric bovine lactoferrin (bLf) has been determined by X-
ray crystallography in order to investigate the factors that influence iron binding and release …

Full-matrix least squares is taken as the basis for an examination of protein structure
precision. A two-atom protein model is used to compare the precisions of unrestrained and …

The structure of the iron-binding glycoprotein lactoferrin, present in milk and other exocrine
secretions, has been elucidated in great detail, both the three-dimensional protein structure …
