Structural features of apolipoprotein B synthetic peptides that inhibit lipoprotein(a) assembly
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is assembled via an initial noncovalent interaction between apolipoprotein B100 (apoB) and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] that facilitates the formation of a disulfide bond between the two proteins. We previously reported that a lysine-rich, α-helical peptide spanning human apoB a...
