Structural properties of apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides that promote ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux

Abstract Peptides mimicking the major protein of highdensity lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), are promising therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases. Similar to apoA-I, their atheroprotective property is attributed to their ability to form discoidal HDL-like particles by extracting ce...
