A molecular model for the retinol binding protein-transthyretin complex

J Mol Graph. 1992 Jun;10(2):120-3, 111. doi: 10.1016/0263-7855(92)80065-l.

Abstract

A three-dimensional model for the complex between human serum retinol binding protein and transthyretin (formerly named prealbumin) is presented. The model was obtained by interactive rigid-body computer graphics docking and the characterization of the molecular surfaces in terms of fractal dimension. Available experimental data, as well as results from molecular dynamics calculations, support the proposed model.
