Computational Lipidology: Predicting Lipoprotein Density Profiles in Human Blood Plasma

Variation in the initial composition of B-particles.

The initial composition of B-particles, i.e. the molecule numbers of component F, C and T, was randomized. The filled black bars (x = 0) mark the default B-particle initial composition (initF = 10, initC = 2000, initT = 10000). A total of 100 different compositions (brown bars) were analyzed by independent simulation runs. The graphs are sorted by the euclidean distance (topmost sub-graph, black dashed line). The change in the error measure (distance between calculated and experimental lipoprotein distributions) relative to the value obtained for the default composition is shown in the topmost sub-graph (black continous line).
