Delineating the impact of pathogenic mutations on the conformational dynamics of HDL's vital protein ApoA1: a combined computational and molecular dynamic simulation approach.

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), is the important component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), that has key role in HDL biogenesis, cholesterol trafficking, and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Non-synonymous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in ApoA1 have been linked to cardiovascular diseases and amyloidosis as they alter the protein's native structure and function. Therefore in this study, we attempted...
