==Overview==
==Overview==
A specific camel VHH (variable domain of dromedary heavy chain antibody), fragment was used to crystallize the intrinsically flexible addiction, antidote MazE. Only 45% of the polypeptide chain is found ordered in the, crystal. The MazE monomer consisting of two beta-hairpins connected by a, short alpha-helix has no hydrophobic core on its own and represents only, one half of a typical protein domain. A complete domain structure is, formed by the association of two chains, creating a hydrophobic core, between two four-stranded beta-sheets. This hydrophobic core consists, exclusively of short aliphatic residues. The folded part of MazE contains, a novel DNA binding motif. A model for DNA binding that is consistent with, the available biochemical data is presented.
