Spherical LDL model by Murtola et al.1225 (A) CG lipid models used in the simulations of LDL with glycerol moieties shown in red. (B) The full LDL model with ApoB-100 in tan. (C) The lipid core in the configuration in panel B is replaced with a transparent sphere to highlight the position of apoB-100. (D) Cross section of protein-free LDL. (E) Cross section of configuration shown in panel B. (F) The zoomed in surface of the configuration shown in panel B. Adapted with permission from ref (1225).
