Access-Controlled Oxidation: Understanding the role of structure in protein damage (Ref: CG-AC-2526)

Loughborough University

Department of Chemical Engineering

Protein oxidation is a major marker of protein damage in aging and disease processes, and can occur through a number of routes. One poorly understood contributing element is how protein structure, including local structure, controls the outcomes of oxidation events in the body. Read more
