Abstract excerpt
To probe the role of protein conformation in the formation and kinetic stability of discoidal lipoproteins, thermal unfolding and refolding studies were carried out using model lipoproteins reconstituted from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and selected mutants of human apolipoprotein C-1 (apoC-1). Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and electron microscopy show that the Q31P mutant, which has...
