Lipid-protein interaction in the phosphatidylcholine exchange protein

P F Devaux et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 May.

Abstract

Incorporation of 2-acyl spin-labeled lecithin into the phosphatidylcholine protein from bovine liver results in an immobilization of the spin-label at the methyl and the carboxyl terminal end of the acyl chain. The nitroxide group on the protein-bound lecithin molecule is not accessible to ascorbate. This suggests that lecithin is buried in a pocket on the protein, which effectively shields the acyl chains from the medium.
