Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the major protein associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL), and its plasma levels have been correlated with protection against atherosclerosis. Unfortunately, the structural basis of this phenomenon is not fully understood. Over 25 years of study have produced two general models of apoA-I structure in discoidal HDL complexes. The "belt" model states that the amphipathic...
