Plain-language summary
Biophysical study characterizing how carnosine and homocarnosine interact with model phospholipid membranes. Both peptides stabilize the bilayer against oxidative perturbation, hinting at a structural — not purely chemical — mode of cytoprotection.
Key takeaways
- ›Carnosine has a membrane-stabilizing effect.
- ›Structural role complements chemical scavenging.
- ›Helps explain effects in non-enzymatic systems.
