This MLP consists of 190 amino acid residues with seven cysteines arranged in three disulfide bridges and has a mass of 21.4kDa. Crystal structure analysis in figures 2a and 2b shows that the protein is composed of antiparallel beta-strands, loops that connect the beta-strands, and 4 helix turns (fig2b). Figure 2a shows that are 6 disulfide bridges that hold the monomers together in a manner similar to that between monomers in miraculin. | This MLP consists of 190 amino acid residues with seven cysteines arranged in three disulfide bridges and has a mass of 21.4kDa.

The overall structure of the two MLPs discussed and miraculin’s predicted model appears to be very similar. All three seem to consist of very loosely packed loops, beta-sheets, and disulfide bridges. | The overall structure of the two MLPs discussed and miraculin’s predicted model appears to be very similar.
