α-Cyclodextrin extracts diacylglycerol from insect high density lipoproteins
α-Cyclodextrins are water-soluble cyclic hexamers of glucose units with hydrophobic cavities capable of solubilizing lipophiles. Incubating α-cyclodextrin with high density lipophorin from Manduca sexta or Bombyx mori resulted in a cloudy, turbid solution. Centrifugation separated a pale yellowish p...
