Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I, 243 amino acids) is the major protein of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) that plays an important structural and functional role in lipid transport and metabolism. The central region of apoA-I (residues 60-183) is predicted to contain exclusively amphipathic alpha-helices formed from tandem 22-mer sequence repeats. To analyze the lipid-binding properties of this core domain, four...
