SOME SOIL bacteria, the chemist believes, must have means of breaking down the cross-linked aggregates. Otherwise, the earth would be covered with fossil proteins that now occur only as rarities. The importance of this unproved cross-linkage theory lies in the mechanism of the science of aging itself, the cause of progressive resistance loss, which, more than any single disease, results in death.

This would be accomplished by a therapy that would break down the cross-linked groups and thereby free the space they occupied for synthesis of new normal molecules. Cross-linkage, Dr. Bjorksten explains, is like what would happen in a large factory with thousands of workers, if someone slipped a pair of handcuffs on one hand of each of two workers to tie them together.
