Protein damage

Protein damage susceptibility

Protein damage (partly followed by protein aggregation) plays a significant role in aging, cancer, and in neurodegenerative and other diseases. It is known that the proteinogenic amino acids differ in their susceptibility to non-enzymatic modification, such as hydroxylation, peroxidation, chlorination, etc. (Fichtner et al., 2020)
