Folding of apocytochrome c in lipid micelles: formation of alpha-helix precedes membrane insertion.
Apocytochrome c, which in aqueous solution is largely unstructured, acquires a highly alpha-helical structure upon interaction with lipid. The alpha-helix content induced in apocytochrome c depends on the lipid system, and this folding process is driven by both electrostatic and hydrophobic lipid-pr...
