A structure-based approach for detection of thiol oxidoreductases and their catalytic redox-active cysteine residues. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Cysteine (Cys) residues often play critical roles in proteins, for example, in the formation of structural disulfide bonds, metal binding, targeting proteins to the membranes, and various catalytic functions.

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]
, 2013 This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

Impact of acute exercise on antioxidant enzymes activity and lipid status in blood of patients with hypertension [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2009 Background/Aim. Many studies support the hypothesis that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenic process of a variety of diseases including hypertension. In humans, hypertension is also considered a state of oxidative stress that can contribute to

Disulphide production by Ero1alpha-PDI relay is rapid and effectively regulated [PDF]
, 2010 The molecular networks that control endoplasmic reticulum (ER) redox conditions in mammalian cells are incompletely understood. Here, we show that after reductive challenge the ER steady-state disulphide content is restored on a time scale of seconds ...
