title: Heavy riboflavin synthase from Bacillus subtilis. Crystal structure analysis of the icosahedral beta 60 capsid at 3.3 A resolution.
abstract: Geometric features as well as possible functional properties of the substrate binding sites at the pentamer interfaces are described. Ligand binding at the pentamer interface regions increases the stability of the beta 60 capsid considerably and influences the reassembly of isolated beta-subunits.
