Acyl carrier protein (ACP), an abundant protein in every cell, plays a central role in a number of metabolic processes requiring acyl group transfer.
The ACPs are small negatively charged α-helical bundle proteins with a high degree of structural and amino acid similarity. The structures of a number of acyl carrier proteins have been solved using various NMR and crystallography techniques. The ACPs are related in structure and mechanism to the peptidyl carrier proteins (PCP) from nonribosomal peptide synthases.
