12. Additional Information: Stellacyanins are similar to the so-called plantacyanins, of
which cucumber basic protein is one (CBP). They have, however,
low sequence identity with other blue copper proteins such as
plastocyanin and azurin, although the folds are somewhat similar.
The alpha-carbon coordinates (only) for CBP are currently available
in the data base.
