Abstract
We determined the bindings of several lipids such as cholesterol (CHOL), 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), dioctadecyldimethyl-ammoniumbromide (DDAB), and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) to β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) at physiological conditions. FTIR, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopic methods as well as molecular modeling were used to determine the binding of lipid-protein complexes. Structural analysis showed that lipids bind β-LG via both hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions with overall binding constants of K(CHOL-β-LG) = 6.0 (±0.6) × 10(3) M(-1), K(DOPE-β-LG) = 6.5 (±0.7) × 10(3) M(-1), K(DDAB-β-LG) = 1.6 (±0.3) × 10(4) M(-1), and K(DOTAP-β-LG) = 2.2 (±0.67) × 10(4) M(-1). The number of lipid bound per protein molecule (n) was 0.8 (CHOL), 0.7 (DOPE), 1.0 (DDAB), and 1.3 (DOTAP). Molecular modeling showed the participation of several amino acid residues in lipid-protein complexation with the order of binding DOTAP > DDAB > DOPE > CHOL. Alterations of the protein conformation were observed in the presence of lipids with a minor decrease in β-sheet and an increase in turn structure.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
