Wijeratne T, Weers P
Mol Cell Biochem . 2019 Apr; 458(1-2):61-70. PMID: 31016454
Apolipophorin III (apoLp-III) is an insect apolipoprotein that is predominantly present in a lipid-free state in the hemolymph. ApoLp-III from Galleria mellonella is able to interact with membrane components of...

Fuentes L, Beck W, Tsujita M, Weers P
Biochemistry . 2018 Mar; 57(15):2200-2210. PMID: 29578333
Charged residues of the C-terminal domain of human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) were targeted by site-directed mutagenesis. A series of mutant proteins was engineered in which lysine residues (Lys 195, 206,...
