X Abstract

The influence of different surface charge densities (induced by varying pH, addition of positively charged amphiphilic molecules and chemical modification) of high density lipoproteins (isolated by ultracentrifugation) on poly(ethylene glycol) induced aggregation was studied. The effects of different molecular masses of PEG, HDL concentration and the presence of other serum proteins on the PEG mediated aggregation were investigated. The PEG concentration necessary for HDL aggregation is inversely proportional to the used HDL concentration and its molecular weight, and is directly proportional to the presence of other proteins and the magnitude of the negative surface charge density of HDL. The results are in accordance with the predictions of the volume exclusion theory taking into account the influence of repulsive electrostatic forces on the interaction of HDL particles.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
