Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl alcohol is an antimicrobial preservative; it accelerated the aggregation and precipitation of recombinant interleukin-1 receptor antagonist by shifting the protein toward partially unfolded forms.

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Benzyl Alcohol yet.


Dose evidence, rung by rung

A studied human dose exists on file. Open the rung: the dose is the paper's, in its context, never PepJunkie's.
