It should be noted that the correctness of the structure reported in the publication associated with this Protocol was called into question ( http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v448/n7154/full/nature06102.html and authors' response http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v448/n7154/full/nature06103.html ). Further investigation by the University of Alabama resulted in the removal of the structure from the Protein Data Bank (Statement from UAB: http://main.uab.edu/Sites/reporter/articles/71570/ ). See also Nature News report: "Fraud rocks protein community" http://www.nature.com/news/2009/091222/full/462970a.htmlThis Protocol should therefore be treated with caution.
