Vitamin D deficiency can result in various health issues such as osteoporosis, liver and kidney problems and is associated with increased risk of cancers and multiple sclerosis. From this standpoint v...
Disulphide rich peptides exhibit exquisite stability due to the covalent stabilization of their secondary structure. After a particular sequence has been identified and mapped, these peptides are typi...
The testing of alternative matrices in forensic and/or clinical toxicology is gaining popularity, partly due to less invasive means of collection. Blood and urine testing are still by far more prevale...
