apoA-I | disulfide tryptic fragment [(m/z)charge+] | lipid-free locked | lipid-bound locked |
---|---|---|---|
D13C/V67C | T3–T9 [(790.14)4+] | no | yes |
E34C/S55C | T5–T7 [(751.34)4+] | yes | yes |
F104C/H162C | T14–T26 [(820.05)3+] | yes | yes |
L200C/L233C | T32–T35 [(645.44)4+] | yes | yes |
Trypsin digest and MS analysis of mutant apoA-I proteins in the lipid-free or lipid-bound conformation yielded the set of ions listed above. Proteins were examined for the presence of the disulfide tryptic fragment in the lipid-free state or after formation of rHDL.
