Structural Differences in MAAs and Their Impact on Biological Activities

Caption

Structural differences between GlcHMS326 and porphyra-334 may influence multiple bioactivities, including antioxidant and antiglycative effects, collagenase inhibition, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, a newly identified physiological function of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs).
