Description for Homocysteine in Protein Structure/Function and Human Disease: Chemical Biology of Homocysteine-containing Proteins
hardcover. Examining new techniques in protein chemistry that identify protein structure and function through its homocysteine content, this volume provides vital insights from a pioneer in the field, including homocysteinylated proteins' effects on human lifespan. Num Pages: 166 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MFGM; MJD; PSBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 438.
Excess of homocysteine, a product of the metabolism of the essential amino acid methionine, is associated with poor health, is linked to heart and brain diseases in general human populations, and accelerates mortality in heart disease patients. Neurological and cardiovascular abnormalities occur in patients with severe genetic hyperhomocysteinemia and lead to premature death due to vascular complications. Although it is considered a non-protein amino acid, studies over the past dozen years have discovered mechanisms by which homocysteine becomes a component of proteins. Homocysteine-containing proteins lose their normal biological function and become auto-immunogenic and pro-thrombotic. In this book, the author, a ... Read more
