Positive allosteric modulators of lecithin: Cholesterol acyltransferase adjust the orientation of the membrane-binding domain and alter its spatial free energy profile

Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase protein (LCAT) promotes the esterification reaction between cholesterol and phospholipid-derived acyl chains. Positive allosteric modulators have been developed to treat LCAT deficiencies and, plausibly, also cardiovascular diseases in the future. The mechanism o...
