... ubiquitously in abroad range of organisms from Escherichia coli to humans[1–3]. Two cyclophilins, E. coli CyPA and E. coli CyPB,have been identified [4,5], and at least five cyclophilins inmammals ...

In the crystal of free CyPB, a crystallographictwofold rotation axis is observed, and the symmetry ... loop connecting the b4andb5strands, i.e. L ys68, P ro69, A sn70 and Pro71 in CyPB and Ala63, Thr64, Lys65 and Glu66 in CyPA occupies thebottom left side of the cleft and is close to the peptide-binding...
