Glossary Protein Stability

ability of a protein to maintain its functional shape

Protein stability refers to the ability of a protein to maintain its three-dimensional structure under various conditions, such as changes in temperature, pH, or the presence of chemicals. For a layperson, think of it like a puzzle that needs to stay together to work properly; if the pieces fall apart, the puzzle is useless. For professionals, protein stability is crucial because it affects the protein's functionality and its potential use in medical or industrial applications.

community Creatine / Whey Protein / Finasteride Hair Loss?

6 upvotes 2 years ago

A 37-year-old with a receding hairline started using finasteride and plans to add minoxidil, concerned that creatine and whey protein might accelerate hair loss. Another user suggests these supplements likely don't increase testosterone or cause hair loss, advising to monitor personal experience.

community 1+ year oral dut and oral min. 2023 → 2025. No regrowth or stability, loss continues. I'm completely cooked and demoralized.

in Progress Pictures 76 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has been using oral dutasteride and minoxidil for over a year without regrowth or stability, and hair loss continues. Suggestions include checking for inflammation, considering a scalp biopsy, and trying microneedling, topical anti-androgens, or a hair transplant.

community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

63 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.

community 5 months on Fin + RCP + Alpecin + Vitamins

in Is this regrowth? 84 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair regrowth using Finasteride, Alpecin shampoo, vitamins, RCP serums, and Redensyl, with noticeable improvement in the fifth month. The user experienced some shedding initially but found stability without using Minoxidil, as advised by their dermatologist.

community 20 months on dut and getting worse update

29 upvotes 3 months ago

The user has been on dutasteride for 20 months with worsening hair loss and is considering switching back to finasteride, which previously stabilized their hair. They are using a regimen including dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, vitamins, and ketoconazole shampoo, and are planning to add microneedling.
