A molecular theory of lipid—protein interactions in the plasma lipoproteins

Abstract

Abbreviations: VLDL, very low density lipoproteins; HDL, high density lipoproteins; apoprotein, a lipid-free protein component from a lipoprotein; apoLP-Ala and apoLP-Ser, two apoproteins from human VLDL, with carboxyl-terminal alanine and serine, respectively; apoLP-Gln-I (A-l), and apoLP-Gln-II (A-II), the two major apoproteins of human HDL, each with carboxyl-terminal glutamine.
