Study protein turnover IN VIVO in PEOPLE with DeuteRater-H!

 

"...because serial biopsies in humans are impractical..." (yeah...maybe a stronger word belongs at the end, but the point stands) it is really hard to truly understand in vivo protein turn over in humans.

So....what if you could talk an IRB (and some undergrads?) into having the latter drink deuterated water every day for a while and provide you with saliva serum and muscle samples here and there? 

Well...you'd have this study! 

Samples were analyzed on a tribrid Orbitrap system and to work out this new metabolic model, you'd need new software and you can get that here. 

Wow, right?!?!
