✦ Synopsis

The order --* disorder thermal transition in porcine low density lipoprotein-I (LDL~) and low density lipoprotein-2 (LDL3) has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ~H-NMR and ESR spin probing. The results by different methods are in general agreement in that the thermal transition in LDLa takes place at about 32°C. For LDL2 there are two overlapping transition regions, one centered at about 25.5"C and the other at about 33°C. The nature of the two transitions in LDL~ has been discussed.
