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.

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]
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.

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

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]
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]
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.

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 ...
