Oxidation of Aldehydes Used as Food Additives by Peroxynitrite [PDF]
Benzaldehyde and its derivatives are used as food supplements. These substances can be used mainly as flavorings or as antioxidants. Besides, peroxynitrite, an oxidizing agent, could be formed in canned food. Both species could react between them.

Identification and quantification of protein nitration sites in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells in the absence and presence of peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite [PDF]
Peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO−) is a powerful oxidizing/nitrating system formed at sites of inflammation, which can modify biological targets, and particularly proteins.

Peroxynitrous acid (ONOOH) modifies the structure of anastellin and influences its capacity to polymerize fibronectin [PDF]
Anastellin (AN), a fragment of the first type III module in fibronectin (FN), initiates formation of superfibronectin, a polymer which resembles the native cell-derived fibrillar FN found in the extracellular matrix of many tissues, but which displays ...

Multifunctional Fluorescent Probe for Simultaneous Detection of ATP, Cys, Hcy, and GSH: Advancing Insights into Epilepsy and Liver Injury. [PDF]
A multifunctional fluorescent probe, BCR, is designed for the simultaneous detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), gluotathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys). Furthermore, probe BCR successfully visualizes changes in ATP, GSH, Hcy, and Cys levels in a PTZ‐induced epileptic zebrafish model and an APAP‐induced mouse liver injury tissue

50 Years of Organoselenium Chemistry, Biochemistry and Reactivity: Mechanistic Understanding, Successful and Controversial Stories. [PDF]
From the stink to the stars! The reputation of organoselenium species changed drastically in the past fifty years. While at the beginning of their history they were notoriously famous for their toxicity and infernal smell, organoselenides are nowadays recognized for their fundamental role in redox biology and as green organocatalysts.

Photodissociation of Peroxynitric Acid in the Near-IR [PDF]
Temperature-dependent near-IR photodissociation spectra were obtained for several vibrational overtone transitions of peroxynitric acid (HNO4) with a tunable OPO photolysis/OH laser-induced-fluorescence system. Band-integrated photodissociation cross-sections ( ∫σdiss), determined relative to that for the 3ν1 OH stretching overtone, were measured for ...
