Continuous fluorescence assay for lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase using a water-soluble phosphatidylcholine.

A water-soluble fluorescent phosphatidylcholine, 1,2-bis[4-(1-pyreno-butanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPybPC) has been used to develop a sensitive, continuous assay for pure lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in solution. The monomeric substrate allowed us to examine the reaction of L...
