990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch iε-(γ-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkage in citrulline-containing protein fractions from hair
Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
research Structures of three polycystic kidney disease-like domains fromClostridium histolyticumcollagenases ColG and ColH
The study concludes that certain domains in Clostridium histolyticum enzymes are structurally unique, bind calcium to become more stable, and play distinct roles in breaking down collagen, with potential applications in medicine and drug delivery.

A gene mutation in mice causes skin defects and early death.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.

Bleaching hair increases cysteic acid levels in a predictable way.
research Lysine Carboxymethyl Cysteinate (LCC) Protects the Epidermis from UVB-Induced Barrier Damage Through the Activation of Autophagy
Lysine carboxymethyl cysteinate (LCC) protects skin from UVB damage by activating autophagy.
research A Mosaic Hotspot PLCD1 Variant, Detectable in Blood‐Derived DNA , Associated With Nevus Trichilemmocysticus
A rare genetic variant linked to skin cysts was found in blood DNA, suggesting its role in cyst formation.
research Enzyme Replacement Therapy Ameliorates Multiple Symptoms of Murine Homocystinuria
