Conformational Transitions In Serum High-Density Apoproteins Of Hypercholesterolemic Monkeys

Conformational transitions in serum high density apolipoproteins of normal and hypercholesterolemic monkeys have been studied by circular dichroism. This study has revealed that under hypercholesterolemic conditions the secondary structure of apolipoproteins suffers permanent changes which could be observed even after a lengthy procedure of isolation, purification and delipidation of high density lipoprotein.
