mabinlin
Sign in to savethumb|Stick structure of the amino acid residues in segment B54-B64 in Mabinlin II. Constructed in PyMOL (PDB 2DS2). Mabinlins are sweet-tasting proteins extracted from the seed of mabinlang (Capparis masaikai Levl.), a plant growing in Yunnan province of China. There are four homologues. Mabinlin-2 was first isolated in 1983 and characterised in 1993, and is the most extensively studied of the four. The other variants of mabinlin-1, -3 and -4 were discovered and characterised in 1994.
