Crystal Structure of GtCPES

Caption

This image shows the atomic structure of the GtCPES protein in its monomeric (left) and dimeric (right) form, which has been solved by X-ray structural analysis. GtCPES forms a barrel-like structure, which is closed at the bottom and open at the top. Inside the barrel, molecules such as phycoerythrobilin can be bound and transported.
