This authoritative overview on an emerging topic in the molecular life sciences covers all aspects of the aging of (long-lived) proteins. It describes the molecular mechanisms of aging on the protein level, in particular the most common side chain modifications and includes analytical methods to study protein half-life and the accumulation of modifications. Finally, the impact of protein aging on several age-related disases in humans is dissected, and their role in limiting human lifespan is discussed.

  • New insight on a key issue in human biology: New research shows that how the aging of long-lived proteins in the human body is directly related to age-related diseases.
  • First comprehensive overview: The current literature on mechanisms of aging does not cover protein aging in any detail. This is the first authoritative overview on the topic.
  • Includes method descriptions: Detection and analysis methods for long-lived proteins and their decay are also covered, enabling researchers to quickly make progress in this emerging field.

Roger Truscott is a Research Professor at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, University of Wollongong. Having obtained his PhD at Melbourne University, he has spent most of his academic career working for the University of Sydney and the University of Wollongong. He has authored over 200 scientific publications. His main field of research is human aging with particular reference to age-related diseases, such as cataract. He has received numerous awards including a senior NHMRC fellowship and the National Foundation for Eye Research (USA) Cataract Research Award.
