Chlorella vulgaris is a green, photosynthetic microalga in the phylum Chlorophyta. The goal of our study was to perform a bioinformatics analysis of Photosystem I P700 chlorophyll a apoprotein A2, one ...

Lipoproteins are special particles made up of droplets of fats surrounded by a single layer of phospholipid molecules. Phospholipids are molecules of fats which are attached to a phosphorus-containing ...

Heme proteins have proven to be a convenient platform for the development of designer proteins with novel functionalities. This is achieved by substituting the native iron porphyrin cofactor with a ...

Lipoproteins are classified based on their density, electrophoretic mobility, and nature of apoprotein content. Based on their density, lipoproteins can be classified into chylomicrons, very ...

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis is the precedent to ischemic heart disease, which may lead to angina, myocardial infarct, or heart failure; or to ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which may lead to stroke.

As they travel through the blood stream, plasma lipoproteins interact continuously with endothelial cells (ECs). Although the focus of research has mostly been guided by the importance of lipoproteins ...

The familial chylomicronemia syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by severe hypertriglyceridemia and recurrent pancreatitis due to a deficiency in lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Currently, there ...
