Atomistic Simulation Studies of Cholesteryl Oleates: Model for the Core of Lipoprotein Particles

We have conducted molecular dynamics simulations to gain insight into the atomic-scale properties of an isotropic system of cholesteryl oleate (CO) molecules. Cholesteryl esters are major constituents of low density lipoprotein particles, the key players in the formation of atherosclerosis, as well...
