Application of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for Novel Cysteine Labeling

Selective functionalization of peptides and proteins has always been a valuable tool for the study and manipulation of biological processes. In this context, cysteines are of particular interest. Their intrinsic high nucleophilicity makes these amino acids ...

N-Acetyl-Cysteine Supplementation Improves Functional Connectivity Within the Cingulate Cortex in Early Psychosis: A Pilot Study

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Alessandra Griffa, Kim Do, Patric Hagmann, Emeline Mullier

Background: There is increasing evidence that redox dysregulation, which can lead to oxidative stress and eventually to impairment of oligodendrocytes and parvalbumin interneurons, may underlie brain connectivity alterations in schizophrenia. Accordingly, ...

Dual-responsive polyphosphazene as a common platform for highly efficient drug self-delivery

For clinical applications, simplicity, high efficiency, and low toxicity are key issues in the design of anti-tumor drugs. In this work, a novel dual-responsive drug self-framed delivery system (DSFDS) with high drug delivery efficiency is proposed based o ...

Monitoring Spontaneous Charge-Density Fluctuations by Single-Molecule Diffraction of Quantum Light

Homodyne X-ray diffraction signals produced by classical light and classical detectors are given by the modulus square of the charge density in momentum space vertical bar sigma(q)vertical bar(2), missing its phase, which is required in order to invert the ...

"Doubly Orthogonal" Labeling of Peptides and Proteins

Jérôme Waser, Beat Fierz, Nora Guidotti, Raphaël Michel Henri Simonet-Davin, Romain Gaëtan Tessier

Herein, we report a cysteine bioconjugation methodology for the introduction of hypervalent iodine compounds onto biomolecules. Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) engage thiols in small organic molecules and cysteine-containing peptides and proteins in a fast a ...

Getting the Right Grip? How Understanding Electrophile Selectivity Profiles Could Illuminate Our Understanding of Redox Signaling

Yimon Aye, Lingxi Wang

Recent Advances: Herein, we focus on the first step of this process, electrophile sensing. Electrophile sensing is typically a deceptively simple reaction between the thiol of a protein cysteine, of which there are around 200,000 in the human proteome, and ...

Disruption of redox homeostasis by enzymatic activation of a triakylphosphine probe in mitochondria

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is assocd. with cancer, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concns. of reduced and oxidized glutathione. In eukaryotes, this ratio ...

Understanding the interactions of diruthenium anticancer agents with amino acids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov, Muhammad Hanif

The dinuclear anticancer agents 1,n-bis{chlorido3-(oxo-kappa O)-2-methyl-4-(1H)-pyridinonato-kappa O4-ruthenium(II)}alkane (PyRu2n) exhibit high antiproliferative activity in human cancer cell. Reactivity studies with DNA and protein rev ...

Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods

Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...

Discovery of novel competitive dihydropteridine reductase inhibitors via high throughput screening and their effect on metabolic pterin balance of fibroblast.

Yann Mathieu Pierson

The development of tool compounds for the study of the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) metabolic network perturbation is of interest especially in the case of oxidative and nitrosative stress genesis. A semisynthetic FRET sensor was engineered in order to study ...
