Keratherapy offers both short-term and long-lasting products and professional treatments to restore the keratin content of ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.

A new study has identified an enzyme that plays an important role in breaking down unneeded or damaged proteins in the heart – an important process for maintaining heart health. In the study ...

Both discrete biopolymers (such as tetracysteine-fused proteins) and entire subsets of biomolecules (such as metabolically labeled glycans or lipids) can be tracked in their native habitats using ...

By chemically building aged biomolecules like proteins and working to identify the ‘tipping point’ of when wear-and-tear irreparably impedes the function of chromatin and other complex ...

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

This depends on the type of enzyme. The enzyme pepsin breaks down proteins in the acidic conditions of the stomach. Pepsin has an optimum of pH 2.5 and a working range of between pH 1-4.

“This research shows beyond doubt that organic biomolecules, such as proteins like collagen, appear to be present in some fossils,” said Professor Steve Taylor, chair of the Mass Spectrometry Research ...

The process of Schwann cell differentiation initiates the secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, PAP-III, IL-1α, and IL-1β, which in turn pull monocytes/macrophages to the location of damage ...
