Apo (1fes) and copper (1fd8) forms of the metallochaperone protein Atx1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These are averaged NMR structures.

• What structural elements are present in each molecule?
• What is the subunit composition?
• What is the coordination geometry about each metal ion?
• Are there other ligands that may act to transfer metal ions?
• How do these structures compare with MerP and Menkes metalloproteins?
