Scientists Fabricate Protein to Aid Study of Multiple Sclerosis
Recently, a team of scientists from the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology, Guwahati, announced the development of a protein that can be helpful in the study of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other related diseases.
Key Points
- The Study: The research group studied the structural arrangement of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) and the stability and rigidity of protein films through sub-phase pH optimization.
- MBP: It is a key protein component in protecting nerve cells and compactifying the myelin sheath that wraps around the axon. Thus it can provide crucial insights in studies related to multiple sclerosis and other related ....
