Environmental Pollutant Ozone Causes Damage to Lung Surfactant Protein B (SP-B)

[Image: see text] Lung surfactant protein B (SP-B) is an essential protein found in the surfactant fluid at the air–water interface of the lung. Exposure to the air pollutant ozone could potentially damage SP-B and lead to respiratory distress. We have studied two peptides, one consisting of the N-t...
