Abstract
DURING a study of the amino-acid composition of 140 proteins, wre noted that the compositions of soluble and membranous lipoproteins differ. The observed differences are statistically significant and are related to the different environments to which the protein moieties are exposed. These data have not been collated elsewhere, and they are presented here in the hope that theoretical and experimental studies of lipoprotein structure will be facilitated. Preliminary reports have already been made1–3.
