Protein origami and aging
26. February 2009 by admin.
If I were to add a 15th theory of aging to this Anti-Aging Firewalls treatise, it would possibly be Misfoldings of proteins. The basic notion is that stress often leads to the misfolding of proteins, a process that can accelerate with age creating vulnerability to a number of disease and dysfunctional conditions. Misfolded proteins cannot perform their intended functions, can create active mischief and probably contribute to aging in multiple ways. This is a relatively new and complex area of molecular biology that is to a large extent still unexplored. I have posted a long and rather technical note on the subject here in my Antiaging Firewalls Treatise.
