The mechanism of lipid-binding by plasma lipoproteins. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • In this article, we review the current state of knowledge about the structure of human plasma high density lipoproteins. Recent advances in this field, including amino acid sequencing and lipid-binding studies, suggest that the plasma lipoproteins have specific sites with special structural features that account for their ability to bind and transport lipid. A hypothesis which describes the structure of these lipid-binding sites and their interaction with lipid is presented.
