NMR structure of the 35-residue villin headpiece subdomain

Nature Structural Biology volume 4, pages 180–184 (1997)Cite this article

The NMR structure of an autonomously folding subdomain from villin headpiece is reported. It forms a novel three helix structure with the actin-binding residues arrayed on the C-terminal helix.
