Mechanistic insights on anserine hydrolyzing activities of human carnosinases.

Anserine and carnosine represent histidine-containing dipeptides that exert a pluripotent protective effect on human physiology. Anserine is known to protect against oxidative stress in diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Human carnosinases (CN1 and CN2) are dipeptidases involved in the homeostasis of carnosine.

Multiple-parallel-protease digestion coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry: An approach towards comprehensive peptide mapping of therapeutic mAbs.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are structurally large and complex molecules. To be safe and efficacious, a biosimilar mAb must show high similarity to its reference product in Critical Quality Attributes (CQA). mAbs are highly sensitive to protein expression, production, manufacturing, supply chain, and storage conditions.

Glycation of glucose sensitive lysine residues K36, K438 and K549 of albumin is associated with prediabetes.

Prediabetes is a risk factor for the development of diabetes. Early diagnosis of prediabetes may prevent the onset and progression of diabetes and its associated complications. Therefore, this study aimed at the identification of novel markers for efficient prediction of prediabetes.
