Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

Palaeoproteomics is an emerging neologism used to describe the application of mass
spectrometry-based approaches to the study of ancient proteomes. As with palaeogenomics …

Cultural heritage objects constitute a very diverse environment, inhabited by various
bacteria and fungi. The impact of these microorganisms on the degradation of artworks is …

The study of painted artworks using scientific methods is fundamental for understanding the
techniques used in their creation and their appropriate conservation. The ethical constraints …

Medieval manuscripts, carefully curated and conserved, represent not only an irreplaceable
documentary record but also a remarkable reservoir of biological information. Palaeographic …

Deterioration and degradation of works of art is of great concern to preserve humankind
heritage. Among categories of degradation, biodeterioration is one of the main destructive …

Archaeological materials are a finite resource, and efforts should be made to minimize
destructive analyses. This can be achieved by using protocols combining extraction of …

Abstract With Angle Resolved XRF (AR-XRF) the sample is investigated at different angles
of detection and irradiation. The geometry of analysis indeed affects the intensity of the …

The goal of paleoproteomics is to characterize proteins from specimens that have been
subjected to the degrading and obscuring effects of time, thus obtaining biological …

Proteomic approaches based on mass spectrometry have become increasingly popular for
protein binder's identification in works of art. The identification of the binder employed may …
