Abstract excerpt
Binding of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) to lipoprotein surfaces is a key step in the reverse cholesterol transport process, as the subsequent cholesterol esterification reaction drives the removal of cholesterol from tissues into plasma. In this study, the surface plasmon resonance method was used to investigate the binding kinetics and affinity of LCAT for lipoproteins. Reconstituted high-density...
