Figure S.3 Schematic diagram of the structure of human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP), which is an up-and-down P barrel. The eight antiparallel P strands twist and curl such that the structure can also be regarded as two p sheets (green and blue) packed against each other. Some of the twisted p strands (red) participate in both P sheets. A retinol molecule, vitamin A (yellow), is bound inside the barrel, between the two P sheets, such that its only hydrophilic part (an OH tail) is at the surface of the molecule. The topological diagram of this stmcture is the same as that in Figure 5.2. (Courtesy of Alwyn Jones, Uppsala, Sweden.)...
