The structure of XIAP BIR2: understanding the selectivity of …
Here, the BIR2 apo crystal structure and the structures of five BIR2-tetrapeptide complexes are described. The structural flexibility observed on comparing these structures, along with a comparison with XIAP BIR3, affords an understanding of the structural elements that drive selectivity between BIR2 and BIR3 and which can be used to design ...
