lipitor, bile salts, cholesterol/role w/ protein, blocks LDL-explain
For lipitor, bile salt, and cholesterol and with knowledge of intermolecular forces, expalin the following:
a. which of the three will dissolve in blood and why?
b. LDL (bad cholsterol) stands for Low Density Lipoprotein - that is- chlosterol (lipid) surrounded by protein. HDL (good cholosterol) stands for High Density Lipoprotein. What role would you expect the protein to play in relation to the cholosterol molecule? (amines, amides, and carboxylic acids are parts of proteins, think of their properties)
c. Lipitor blocks production of chlosterl in the liver. In addition to this reduction of the serum level of cholsterol, HDL acts to remove LDL from the bloodstream. HOw might this occur?
