Reactive Nitrogen Species Reactivities with Nitrones: Theoretical and Experimental Studies [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2012 Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as nitrogen dioxide ((•)NO(2)), peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), and nitrosoperoxycarbonate (ONOOCO(2)(-)) are among the most damaging species present in biological systems due to their ability to cause modification of key biomolecular systems through oxidation, nitrosylation, and nitration.

Bioimaging Probes for Reactive Oxygen Species and Reactive Nitrogen Species
Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 2009 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in many pathogenic processes, including carcinogenesis, inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury and signal transduction. Also, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) cause various biological events such as neurodegenerative disorders.

Antioxidants and skeletal muscle performance: ’Common knowledge’ vs. experimental evidence.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Antioxidants are assumed to provide numerous benefits, including better health, a reduced rate of aging, and improved exercise performance. Specifically, antioxidants are commonly ‘prescribed’ by the media, supplement industry, and ‘fitness experts’ for

Oxidative DNA Damage and Repair: Mechanisms, Mutations, and Relation to Diseases
Antioxidants, 2023 Oxidative DNA damage (ODD) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is an inevitable tradeoff for using oxidation processes by living cells as a source of energy [...]

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
