About the Cover
COVER:
Modeled structure of the large lipid transfer (LLT) module of apolipophorin-II/I (apoLp-II/I),
a homolog of apoB. Insect lipoprotein biosynthesis is characterized by furin-mediated
cleavage of this precursor protein into apoLp-I and apoLp-II.
The precursor cleavage site is situated within the LLT module that contains the complete
apoLp-II region (yellow) and part of apoLp-I (blue). (See Smolenaars et al., p.
412.)
