Amino acid racemization reveals differential protein turnover in osteoarthritic articular and meniscal cartilages

INTRODUCTION: Certain amino acids within proteins have been reported to change from the L form to the D form over time. This process is known as racemization and is most likely to occur in long-lived low-turnover tissues such as normal cartilage. We hypothesized that diseased tissue, as found in an...
