Abstract
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.
