Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) has a key function in the reverse cholesterol transport. However, aggregation of apoA-I single point mutants can lead to hereditary amyloid pathology. Although several studies have tackled the biophysical and structural consequences introduced by these mutations, there is little information addressing the relationship between the evolutionary and structural features that contribute to...
