Amino acids

Amino acids are the monomers that comprise proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, or the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. There are 20 common amino acids present in proteins, each with a different R group. Variation in the amino acid sequence is responsible for...

Evaluating the Effect of SASP Factors on the Proliferation of Cancer Cells Using a Comparative Analysis of Three Distinct Methodologies

This study evaluates the proliferative effects of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors from senescent HeLa cells on non-senescent HeLa cells using three in vitro models with real-time monitoring. The advantages and limitations of each method were systematically compared to better understand cell-cell interactions in...
