Abstract excerpt
Intramolecular interactions between the amino and carboxy termini of apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI) are believed to stabilize the helix bundle conformation of the protein. During lipid assembly the protein undergoes conformational changes that result in an exposure of the carboxy terminus and its insertion into the lipid phase. To determine the role of the two termini in the energetics of unfolding, we studied the...
