MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF LIPOPROTEINS
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) are natural globular nanoparticles assigned with the function to supply tissues and cells with cholesterol and fat.
Apolipoprotein B100 (apoB-100) is the only protein component of LDL triggering lipid transport and metabolism.
Our research group is interested in
- Structure and dynamics of LDL under extreme conditions as high hydrostatic pressure
- Molecular structure of lipid-free apoB-100 stabilized by self-assembling peptides
