Abstract

The present invention provides a crystallized Bactericidal Permeability-Increasing (BPI) protein; methods for x-ray diffraction analysis to provide x-ray diffraction patterns of sufficiently high resolution for three-dimensional structure determination of the protein, as well as methods for rational drug design, based on using amino acid sequence data and/or x-ray crystallography data provided on computer readable media, as analyzed on a computer system having suitable computer algorithms; and atomic coordinates are provided yielding structural information on the lipid binding and lipid transport protein family that includes BPI, LBP, CETP and PLTP.
