Characterization of rHDL containing PCO or SCWA by spectroscopic analysis.

		SCWA-rHDL			PCO-rHDL
	Lipid free apoA-I	apoA-I:SCWA			apoA-I:PCO
Molar ratio; (apoA-I: SCWA or PCO)	-	1:0	1:1	1:5	1:0	1:1	1:5
Size (Å)	73	98	95	85	98	96	87
WMF (nm)	337	341	340	341	341	341	341

WMF, wavelengths of maximum fluorescence.
Molar ratio was 95:5:1:x for POPC:FC:ApoA-I:SCWA or PCO, where x is 0, 1, or 5.
Determined by 8% to 25% native-gradient gel electrophoresis with densitometric scanning analysis.
Determined by fluorospectroscopy to detect tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence.
