What is Racemisation about?
This review discusses the biochemistry of amino acid racemization and its clinical applications in musculoskeletal diseases. Racemization, the conversion of L-enantiomers to D-forms, can serve as a biomarker for determining the age and turnover rates of long-lived proteins, particularly in musculoskeletal tissues. The document highlights the potential of racemized protein fragments as indicators of disease due to altered turnover rates in musculoskeletal conditions.
