Examples of lipoprotein in the following topics:

  • Gram-Negative Outer Membrane

    • The peptidoglycan layer is non-covalently anchored to lipoprotein molecules called Braun's lipoproteins through their hydrophobic head.
  • Double-Stranded DNA Viruses: Pox Viruses

    • The most abundant and simplest infectious form of the poxvirus particle, the mature virion (MV), consists of the viral DNA genome encased in a proteinaceous core and an outer lipoprotein membrane with approximately 60 and 25 associated viral proteins, respectively.
  • Metabolomics

    • Macromolecules such as lipoproteins and albumin are reliably detected in NMR-based metabolomics studies of blood plasma.
  • Toll-Like Receptors

    • Well-conserved features in pathogens include bacterial cell-surface lipopolysaccharides (LPS), lipoproteins, lipopeptides, and lipoarabinomannan; proteins such as flagellin from bacterial flagella; double-stranded RNA of viruses; or the unmethylated CpG islands of bacterial and viral DNA; and certain other RNA and DNA.
  • Lipid Biosynthesis

    • The fatty acids may be subsequently converted to triglycerides that are packaged in lipoproteins and secreted from the liver.
