A giant amphipathic helix from a perilipin that is adapted for coating lipid droplets
Lipid droplets are cellular organelles important for cellular homeostasis and their disruption has been implicated in many diseases. Here the authors use a large amphipathic helix from perilipin 4 to uncover parameters important for specific lipid droplet targeting and stabilization of the oil core.
