Peptide profiling in cow urine reveals molecular signature of physiology-driven pathways and in-silico predicted bioactive properties

Abstract Peptidomics allows the identification of peptides that are derived from proteins. Urinary peptidomics has revolutionized the field of diagnostics as the samples represent complete systemic changes happening in the body. Moreover, it can be collected in a non-invasive manner. We profiled the...
