Thermotropic transitions of lipids in porcine low density lipoproteins.
The order----disorder thermal transition in porcine low density lipoprotein-1 (LDL1) and low density lipoprotein-2 (LDL2) has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 1H-NMR and ESR spin probing. The results by different methods are in general agreement in that the thermal transition in LDL1 takes place at about 32 degrees C. For LDL2 there are two overlapping transition regions, one centered at about 25.5 degrees C and the other at about 33 degrees C. The nature of the two transitions in LDL2 has been discussed.
