Molecular signatures written in bone proteins of 79 AD victims from Herculaneum and Pompeii

Abstract An extensive proteomic analysis was performed on a set of 12 bones of human victims of the eruption that in AD 79 rapidly buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, allowing the detection of molecular signatures imprinted in the surviving protein components. Bone collagen survived the heat of the erup...
