Abstract excerpt
A better understanding of the apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) sequences involved in binding to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor will be achieved by studying the effects of polymorphisms and rare mutations of apoB100. Upon re-examination of apoB100 DNA sequencing discrepancies, a charge-change polymorphism, Q3405E, was found in the putative LDL receptor binding domain of the protein. Positively charged...
