Multidimensional NMR studies of [15N,13C]-labelled human serum apolipoproteins and lipid-associating proteins. Conformational studies of lipoproteins mutated by protein engineering. The projects are related to ischemic heart disease, cancer and immunology. Conformation and structure-function relationships of the amphipathic motif in peptide-lipid complexes studied by means of 2D NMR and CD. NMR study of the binding of neurotoxins to receptors by transferred NOE spectroscopy.
