Chemistry of aging (MEDI, BIOL)
Aging is characterized by gradual changes in the structure, function and turnover of proteins. The rate of these changes is regulated, in part, by hormonal mechanisms. This session will address proteomic analysis of oxidative modifications of brain proteins in Alzheimer's disease, mechanisms of recognition and regulation of turnover of modified proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, the broad nature of chemical modifications of protein during aging, and the role of insulin-like growth factors in regulation of aging in a mouse model of accelerated aging.
