Prealbumin Structure
Prealbumin (1eta.pdb) is a human plasma protein that functions in thyroxine (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodo-L-thyronine) transport.
The b-barrel diagrammed in the text is termed a "Greek key motif". The b-strands are mostly antiparallel.

The starting Display is Ribbons; the Color is Structure.
The amino and carboxyl termini are labeled.
[cf. Campbell, Figure 4.9 (b)]
