Schematic representation of the spontaneous solubilization of dimyristoyl phosphatidyl-choline (DMPC) multilamellar vesicles (MLV) by apoA-I. When apoA-I is incubated with the turbid MLV suspension at 24°C (the melting temperature of the DMPC acyl chains), the solution becomes optically clear because the DMPC bilayers are solubilized in a few minutes to create discoidal HDL particles that are too small to scatter visible light
