The crystallographic structure of RiAFP was defined recently<ref>DOI 10.1074/jbc.M113.450973</ref>. It reveals a new β-solenoid architecture that forms β-sandwich of two parallel 6 and 7 stranded-sheets of remarkable regularity. | The crystallographic structure of RiAFP was defined recently<ref>DOI 10.1074/jbc.M113.450973</ref>.
