Abstract
Use of compatible solutes for the protection of biopolymers from degradation by degrading enzymes.
Claims8
Use of compatible solutes for the protection of biopolymers from degradation by degrading enzymes, wherein said degrading enzymes are selected from the group consisting of proteases, lipases and phosphorylases.
A method for the protection of biopolymers from degradation by degrading enzymes selected from the group consisting of proteases, lipases and phosphorylases, wherein compatible solutes are added to a sample containing said biopolymers.
Use of compatible solutes for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diseases, wherein said diseases are selected from the group consisting of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves disease, Hashimoto's disease, HIV infections or retroviral infections (e.g., herpes), tissue injuries/wound healing, shock conditions, fibrinolytic bleeding, heart diseases (e.g., infarction), Alzheimer's disease, neuronal degeneration, diseases of the skeleton and muscles, blood hypertension, metastasis formation of cancer cells, and skin cancer.
