Effects of natural mutations in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase on the enzyme structure and activity

A molecular model was built for human lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) based upon the structural homology between this enzyme and lipases (Peelman et al. 1998. Prot. Sci. 7: 585–597). We proposed that LCAT belongs to the α/β hydrolase fold family, and that the central domain of LCAT consi...
