Abstract excerpt
The following model of aging is proposed: 1) defective proteins with anomalous primary structures are synthesized sometimes; 2) these defective proteins are precipitated in cells and intercellular spaces; 3) the precipitated proteins block them up under the influence of radicals; 4) a decrease of cell functional ability below some level results in the destruction of the organism regulation function. A formula is...
