Arginine demethylation is catalysed by a subset of JmjC histone lysine demethylases
Nature Communications, 2016 While the oxygen-dependent reversal of lysine Nɛ-methylation is well established, the existence of bona fide Nω-methylarginine demethylases (RDMs) is controversial.

Versatile Cell Penetrating Peptide for Multimodal CRISPR Gene Editing in Primary Stem Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.CRISPR machinery in diverse molecular formats (DNA, RNA, and ribonucleic protein) is complexed into nanoparticles with the cell‐friendly arginine‐alanine‐leucine‐alanine (RALA) cell‐penetrating peptide. Nanoparticles are delivered to primary mesenchymal stem cells ex vivo or locally in vivo to facilitate multimodal CRISPR gene editing. This RALA‐CRISPR

Arginine thioacid in synthesis of arginine conjugates and peptides
RSC Adv., 2014 Protected arginine thioacid enables convenient N-acylation with no detectable racemization. We report efficient syntheses of potentially biologically active arginine conjugates and novel arginine-containing di-, tri- and tetrapeptides in good yields without loss of chiral integrity.

Canavanine Inhibits Vimentin Assembly But Not Its Synthesis in Chicken Embryo Erythroid Cells [PDF]
, 1983 In chicken embryo erythroid cells, newly synthesized vimentin first enters a Triton X-100 (TX-100)-soluble pool and subsequently assembles posttranslationally into TX-100-insoluble vimentin filaments (Blikstad I., and E. Lazarides, J. Cell Biol., 96:1803-
