HpHbR is responsible for the acquisition of haem, an important growth factor for these organism that are deficient in its biosynthesis. This protein folds into an elongated three alpha-helical bundle with a small head structure containing the ligand-binding site that is distal to the C-terminal GPI-anchor attachment site. This structure appears to be conserved among trypanosome species [1-4].
