Scientists found the secret behind the unpleasant smell of BO: an enzyme called C-T lyase, found in bacteria that live in armpits. They feed on sweat & convert it smelly thioalcohols. C-T lyase function confirmed by gene insertion, which made a non-smelly bacteria suddenly stink. theguardian.com/science/2…

Are there any RCs, supplements, peptides, nootropics that I can take to help fall asleep?

I have a substance abuse disorder so any RC benzos or anything similar to ambien are not an option for me. I already take melatonin but it doesn’t do the job on its own. I have been using Benadryl but my outpatient rehab center has been expressing concerns about the Benadryl every time I take a drug test saying it has abuse potential, which I think is ridiculous but I want to get them off my back. I really can’t find any options other than doxylamine and valerian. Any help would be appreciated.

Review: The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

Product Deets from Deciem's website:

This concentrated formula is designed to support hair health so that it looks thicker, denser, fuller and healthier. The technologies present in this formula include REDENSYLβ„’ complex (with Larix Europaea Wood Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract), Procapilβ„’ peptide complex (with Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1), CAPIXYLβ„’ peptide complex (with Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract), BAICAPILβ„’ complex (with Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract and Glycine Soja Germ Extract), AnaGainβ„’ (Pisum Sativum Extract) and High-Solubility Caffeine (1% net Caffeine by weight), in an ultra-lightweight, emollient base for efficient penetration. The total concentration of these technologies in the formula by weight is 21.15%.

Purchased from:

Cult Beauty

Customs Info for anyone who's interested: The first time, I'd purchased two bottles, along with a few other products- my order total came to Rs 4530 and I had to pay ~53% of that(Rs 2400) for customs. The second time, I'd purchased two bottles of this alone- they were on discount and the discount amount was higher than the shipping fees, so I paid for shipping and got both bottles for 3k(including shipping) and paid no customs fees. I've ordered from Cult Beauty 4 times so far- Order Amounts: 2.2k, 500, 4530 and ~3k- and only had to pay customs once. Location: Kerala

Usage:

Usage Period: ~4 months

How I use it: I use it maybe around 4 night a week, concentrating on the front of my head, by sectioning my hair and dropping ~3 drops of the serum along each parting(it spreads quite easily, so that's enough). It takes a little over half a pipette to do this(I have a pretty small head though, I think most people might need a bit more). I then put on an episode of a TV show/anime and massage till the episode ends if it's a short one, otherwise for half the episode, so roughly around 20 minutes?

Texture:

Viscous, easily spreadable liquid, which means a little goes a long way.

Greasiness:

Leaves hair looking a tad greasy right afterwards, but it goes back to normal by morning(disclaimer: I don't h

Way to remember 1 letter abbreviations for Aspartate/Glutamine, Asparagine/Glutamine

These 4 AAs were the hardest 1 letter abbreviations for me to remember until I thought this up.

Glutamine is a Cute amine (Q for cute)

Glutamate is gluE. Think of the kid who used to eat glue in elementary school in the back of the class

Aspartate is also AsparDick acid

AsparagiNe already has the N in its name and you can rule it out from GLN b/c its not cute.

Hope this helps!

What is the hormonal function of steroids which differentiates them from other types of hormones such as peptides or eicosanoids?

Steroidal hormones such as testosterone or cortisol as described as "hormones" and "signalling agents" of the body. Yet that's a category that's covered as well by neurotransmitters (responsible for signalling) and insulin (a peptide that also a signalling agent, and a hormone).

So what's the function of a hormone which makes it "steroidal" as opposed to other hormones like insulin?

Has anyone tried the new YTTP: Triple Peptide + Cactus Hydrating + Firming Oasis Serum…

Has anyone used and would recommend it that wasn’t gifted it as a free product in exchange for a review? I feel like so far most of the reviews are from people that’s have been gifted and it sounds really good but it’s $54.00 and I really wanna hear honest testimonials before I shell out that amount for something that might not work.

I’ve used their cleanser and I have personally seen no difference from when I was using that VS a cheaper option the Glow recipe Blueberry cleanser.

But I’ve also used (and am still using) their Yurba Mate resurfacing mask and Superclay Purify Mask and swear by them.

So to me it’s hits and I don’t want to say miss because their cleanser didn’t break me out. But just wanna know, it looks really good so let me know πŸ€—

When to use retinol, vit c, glycolic & peptides??

Hi All!

I want to use all these ingredients on a regular basis, but how can I incorporate them in such as way that they do not conflict with each other?

For example, I know it's best to use retinol at night, and peptides are ok to use with it in the same PM routine. Ok, great. But then there is vit c, which should be used in the AM, but not with glycolic acid, and not with peptides. So... is my only recourse to forget peptides in the morning and only use vit C & moisturizer, and in the evening do retinol w peptide serums most nights, and occasionally (say, 2 times a week) swap out the retinol for glycolic acid? Followed up by moisturizer, of course.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Edit: Not only have some commenters suggested otherwise, I have since found an article that states that vit C and peptides "work together synergistically". (https://www.byrdie.com/polypeptides-in-skincare). The same article says that peptides can also be used with retinol... huh.

Intramolecular Stereoselective Stetter Reaction Catalyzed by Benzaldehyde Lyase

A benzaldehyde lyase catalyzed intramolecular stereoselective Stetter reaction, that has not been observed in other ThDP‐dependent enzymes known in nature, was reported in this work. A series of chroman‐4‐one derivatives, important building blocks in pharmaceuticals products, were obtained in high yield (up to 99 %) and stereoselectivity (up to 99:1 e.r.).

Abstract

The reliable design and prediction of enzyme promiscuity to access transformations not observed in nature remains a long‐standing challenge. Herein, we present the first example of an intramolecular stereoselective Stetter reaction catalyzed by benzaldehyde lyase, guided by the rational structure screening of various ThDP‐dependent enzymes using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. After optimization, high productivity (up to 99 %) and stereoselectivity (up to 99:1 e.r.) for this novel enzyme function was achieved.

Buying peptides in Russia

I am traveling to Russia soon, and was wondering if anyone had any experience buying peptides for health?

There is what seems like a famous dr. Khavinson in St. Petersburg who sells peptides, and was wondering if his products are sold in health shops or pharmacies outside of St. Petersburg?

I am also interested in a few others, such as BPC-157. I searched Yandex and saw a bunch of shady websites, so I assume those kinds of peptides are only sold on the gray market?
