Abstract excerpt
Binding of protein to a phospholipid surface is commonly mediated by amphipathic alpha-helices. To understand the role of alpha-helical structure in protein-lipid interactions, we used discoidal lipoproteins reconstituted from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and human apolipoprotein C-I (apoC-I, 6 kDa) or its mutants containing single Pro substitutions along the sequence and differing in their alpha-helical...
