Article: New findings from University Federal do Rio of Janeiro describe advances in life sciences.(Report)

New research, 'Betaine protects urea-induced denaturation of myosin subfragment-1,' is the subject of a report. According to a study from Brazil, "We have demonstrated previously that urea inhibits the activity and alters the tertiary structure of skeletal muscle myosin in a biphasic manner. This was attributed to differential effects on its globular and filamentous portion."

"The inhibition of catalytic activity was counteracted by methylamines. With the aim of comprehending the effects of urea on the catalytic (globular) portion of myosin, this study examines the effects of urea and the countereffects of betaine on the catalytic activity and structure of myosin ...
