Structure and lipid interactions of an anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic 10-residue class G⁎ apolipoprotein J peptide using solution NMR

►A 10-residue peptide from apolipopotein J adopts an amphipathic α-helical structure in the presence of dodecylphosphocholine micelle. ►Solution NMR structure of the 10-residue peptide in the presence of dodecylphosphocholine micelle has been determined. ►Ability of this peptide to associate with oxidized lipid helps explain its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties.
