BMC Biochemistry 2012, 13:1Lipid-bound apolipoproteins enhance ABCA1 activity
Lipid-bound apolipoproteins on the surface of spherical high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles can behave like lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) to increase ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) protein levels and activity.

Scope
BMC Biochemistry is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of biochemical processes, including the structure, function and dynamics of metabolic pathways, supramolecular complexes, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids and small molecular components of organelles, cells and tissues.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
