title: Protein-biotin interactions.
abstract: The three-dimensional structures of several biotin-binding proteins are now known, giving insights into the molecular architecture of the binding sites for biotin. In combination with biochemical and computational approaches, these structural insights provide the basis for our present understanding of biotin-protein interactions which, in some cases, give rise to spectacular binding constants.
