Cryptococcus neoformans Iron-Sulfur Protein Biogenesis Machinery Is a Novel Layer of Protection against Cu Stress

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Copper (Cu) ions serve as catalytic cofactors to drive key biochemical processes, and yet Cu levels that exceed cellular homeostatic control capacity are toxic. The underlying mechanisms for Cu toxicity are poorly understood.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

Functional and structural mimics of superoxide dismutase enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes form important defence line in living organisms. Through a dismutation reaction they transform the highly reactive superoxide radical ion to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.

Metal‐Coordination Specificity and Structural Dynamics of C. elegans Metallothionein I: Insights From 3D Modeling and MD Simulations

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 620-632, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metallothioneins (MTLs) are small, cysteine‐rich proteins known for their ability to bind metal ions and exhibit flexible, disordered structures. The structural and functional characteristics of metallothionein I (MTL‐1) from Caenorhabditis elegans were investigated, focusing on its behavior in both metal free (MTL‐1 Apo) and metal‐bond states

Rapid and Precise Determination of Zero-Field Splittings by Terahertz Time-Domain Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2017
Zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters are fundamentally tied to the geometries of metal ion complexes. Despite their critical importance for understanding the magnetism and spectroscopy of metal complexes, they are not routinely available through general

Metalloprotein Crystallography: More than a Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Metal ions and metallocofactors play important roles in a broad range of biochemical reactions. Accordingly, it has been estimated that as much as 25–50% of the proteome uses transition metal ions to carry out a variety of essential functions.

Synthesis and evaluation of a novel ionophore based on a thiacalix[4]arene derivative bearing imidazole units [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
O-Alkylation of the flexible thiacalix[4]arene 1 with 2-chloromethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole 2 in the presence of Na₂CO₃ or K₂CO₃ afforded mono-O-alkylation product 3 in 29–51% yield, along with recovery of the starting compound.

Glyoxalase‐1 Inhibition Leads to Ferroptosis Induction in Lung Cancer Cells: A Dual Mechanism of Action of Hydroxamic Acids Derived from Cysteine

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.
A set of three cysteine‐derived hydroxamic acids were synthesized and evaluated for human gloxalase‐1 inhibition and ferroptosis induction activities. Among them, compound 2 exhibited a potent inhibitory effect against human glyoxalase‐1 and induced ferroptosis in non‐small cell lung cancer cell lines, increasing reactive oxygen species production and ...

Paramagnetic NMR Spectroscopy Is a Tool to Address Reactivity, Structure, and Protein–Protein Interactions of Metalloproteins: The Case of Iron–Sulfur Proteins

open access: yesMagnetochemistry, 2020
The study of cellular machineries responsible for the iron–sulfur (Fe–S) cluster biogenesis has led to the identification of a large number of proteins, whose importance for life is documented by an increasing number of diseases linked to them.
