Vitamin D binding protein is very similar to <scene name='48/483884/Hsa/1'>HSA</scene> based on sequence similarity as well as an almost identical tertiary structure. However, HSA binds to actin instead, and is actually unable to bind to Vitamin D3. Based on what you have learned about the binding nature in domain I of Vitamin D Binding Protein, hypothesize a reason why HSA is unable to bind to Vitamin D3, but Vitamin D binding protein can. The following scenes should help guide your thinking = Domain I Helices 2,3,4 HSA; Domain I Helices 2,3,4 Vitamin D binding Protein. | Vitamin D binding protein is very similar to <scene name='48/483884/Hsa/1'>HSA</scene> based on sequence similarity as well as an almost identical tertiary structure.
