    Blood fats are key biomarkers for heart, liver, and other diseases, highlighting the importance of lipid metabolism for health. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme involved in hydrolyzing triglycerides from circulating lipoproteins in the blood, releasing free fatty acids. Understanding the structural and functional aspects of LPL is crucial, given its significant role in lipid metabolism and related diseases. In this webinar, the speaker will describe experiments that uncovered how LPL interacts

    The authors use cryo-EM to determine amyloid fibrils structures of disease relevant variants of β2-microglobulin in vitro. Each variant is polymorphic, but all polymorphs from all samples are built from a a lego-like assembly of common building blocks, suggesting a one amyloid fold’ paradigm.
