Abstract

Lactoferrin has many demonstrated activities. Some of these undoubtedly correspond to important in vivo functions; others may only apply in vitro, but may nevertheless lead to possible uses for lactoferrin in medicine or in biotechnology. In either case, the key to understanding the molecular basis of these activities, and ultimately being able to manipulate them, resides in the three-dimensional structure of the protein.
