Summary
Researchers investigated the molecular interactions between PMMA nanoplastics and a model globular protein to understand how nanoplastics disrupt normal protein function. They found that PMMA nanoplastics bind to and alter the structural conformation of the protein, potentially contributing to cellular protein dysfunction.
Polymers
The ingestion of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoplastics (NPs) is associated with numerous health issues.
