Characterization of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense variant surface glycoprotein LiTat 1.5 [PDF]
At present, all available diagnostic antibody detection tests for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense human African trypanosomiasis are based on predominant variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs), such as VSG LiTat 1.5. During investigations aiming at replacement

The effects of nitroxyl (HNO) on soluble guanylate cyclase activity: interactions at ferrous heme and cysteine thiols [PDF]
It has been previously proposed that nitric oxide (NO) is the only biologically relevant nitrogen oxide capable of activating the enzyme soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). However, recent reports implicate HNO as another possible activator of sGC.

Conserved N-terminal cysteine dioxygenases transduce responses to hypoxia in animals and plants
Oxygen sensing across kingdoms The ability to sense and respond to changes in oxygen levels is critical for most forms of life. To date, mechanistic studies of this process in mammals have focused on the oxygen-sensitive stability of a transcription ...

Fragmentation of protonated ions of peptides containing cysteine, cysteine sulfinic acid, and cysteine sulfonic acid [PDF]
The oxidation of the sulfhydryl group in cysteine to sulfenic acid, sulfinic acid, and sulfonic acid in proteins is important in a number of enzymatic processes. In this study we examined the fragmentation of four peptides containing cysteine, cysteine sulfinic acid (Cys-SO(2)H), and cysteine sulfonic acid (Cys-SO(3)H) in an ion-trap mass spectrometer.

The Protection Role of Cysteine for Cu-5Zn-5Al-1Sn Alloy Corrosion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl Solution
In this work, the corrosion mechanism of a Cu-5Zn-5Al-1Sn alloy was examined in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. At the same time, the effect of a cysteine inhibitor was also investigated through a multi-analytical approach.

Conserved Residues R420 and Q428 in a Cytoplasmic Loop of the Citrate/Malate Transporter CimH of Bacillus subtilis Are Accessible from the External Face of the Membrane [PDF]
CimH of Bacillus subtilis is a secondary transporter for citrate and malate that belongs to the 2-hydroxycarboxylate transporter (2HCT) family. Conserved residues R143, R420, and Q428, located in putative cytoplasmic loops and R432, located at the ...
