Lipoproteins

Abstract

A DISCUSSION on lipoproteins, organised by the Colloid and Biophysics Committee of the Faraday Society, was held in the Department of Pharmacology of the medical School of the University of Birmingham during August 29–31, 1949. Prof. E. K. Rideal, who was in the chair at the opening meeting, said that this Committee, which has been in existence for a good many years, was originally due to the initiative of Sir William Hardy, and was intended to provide a bridge between the simpler systems with which colloid chemistry was then mostly concerned and the properties of living matter.
