beta-lactoglobulin

thingiverse

Found in milk, bovine β-lactoglobulin is a commercially important whey protein of considerable nutritional value. This model of β-lactoglobulin showcases a fatty acid, palmitate, firmly bound. β-Lactoglobulin is the primary whey protein found in cow and sheep's milk (approximately 3 grams per liter), also present in many other mammalian species; an exception being human individuals. Its structure, properties, and biological function have been thoroughly reviewed on numerous occasions. One STL file features a representation of the protein in cartoon form with residues binding the palmitate group illustrated as blue spheres in the images. A separate STL file contains the palmitate group itself (displayed in green in the images). The model is based on the Protein Data Bank entry 1B0O: http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?pdbId=1b0o.
