Casein Protein Structures

Results from Molecular Modeling

 

 
The molecular modeled structures of as1-Casein variant B, as2-Casein variant A, b-Casein variant A, and k-casein variant B are provided in Brookhaven Protein Data Bank format (AS1_CN_B.pdb, as211EeminSSall.pdb, B_CN_A.pdb, and K_CN_B.pdb respectively) free of charge to any interested parties.

The modeled structures are those resulting from research at this laboratory which results were published in the following articles:
