Glutathione conjugates of the mercapturic acid pathway and guanine adduct as biomarkers of exposure to CEES, a sulfur mustard analog [PDF]
, 2021 Sulfur mustard (SM), a chemical warfare agent, is a strong alkylating compound that readily reacts with numerous biomolecules. The goal of the present work was to define and validate new biomarkers of exposure to SM that could be easily accessible in urine or plasma. Because investigations using SM are prohibited by the Organization for the Prohibition

A food-grade enzyme preparation with modest gluten detoxification properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Celiac sprue is a life-long disease characterized by an intestinal inflammatory response to dietary gluten. A gluten-free diet is an effective treatment for most patients, but accidental ingestion of gluten is common, leading to incomplete recovery or ...

Proteases that degrade the biofilm matrix
Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2020 Biofilms protect bacteria from the action of antibacterial drugs and are one of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of infections. Destruction of the bacterial biofilm matrix leads to the release of bacteria and they again become vulnerable to ...

Sulfo-SMCC Prevents Annealing of Taxol-Stabilized Microtubules In Vitro [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(8): e0161623, 2015 Microtubule structure and functions have been widely studied in vitro and in cells. Research has shown that cysteines on tubulin play a crucial role in the polymerization of microtubules. Here, we show that blocking sulfhydryl groups of cysteines in taxol-stabilized polymerized microtubules with a commonly used chemical crosslinker prevents temporal ...

Papain-like peptidases: structure, function, and evolution
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 Papain-like cysteine peptidases are a diverse family of peptidases found in most known organisms. In eukaryotes, they are divided into multiple evolutionary groups, which can be clearly distinguished on the basis of the structural characteristics of the ...

Cysteine post-translational modifications: ten years from chemical proteomics to bioinformatics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 As the only thiol-bearing amino acid, cysteine (Cys) residues in proteins have the reactive thiol side chain, which is susceptible to a series of post-translational modifications (PTMs). These PTMs participate in a wide range of biological activities including the alteration of enzymatic reactions, protein-protein interactions and protein stability ...
