title: Cell surface adhesion receptors.
abstract: Several new structural motifs found in cell surface adhesion receptors have been described in the past few years. Also, several two-domain structures of extracellular portions of cell surface proteins have been reported. Structural models for complexes between receptors and counter-receptors have been proposed. The first reports on carbohydrate conformation in intact glycoprotein domains have recently appeared. These new data are presented within a more general review of the field of cell adhesion receptors.
