The ProArc project investigates the preservation of ancient proteins and their interactions with minerals. By quantifying these interactions, the project aims to enhance understanding of protein longevity in archaeological contexts and improve methods for studying ancient biomolecules.
DNA and proteins are now almost routinely being retrieved from sediments and archaeological artefacts.
Despite the realization that adsorption of DNA molecules onto the surfaces of minerals can significantly decrease the DNA and protein decay rate, the longevity of mineral bound biomolecules is a still-standing frontier.
Recently it was shown that peptide sequences in eggshell proteins persist to 3.8 Ma in Africa, implying that protein sequences will span the whole of human history in all parts…
