As a widespread and reversible post-translational modification of proteins, S-glutathionylation specifically generates the mixed disulfides between cysteine residues and glutathione, which regulates various biological processes including oxidative st...
Reactive oxygen species are produced by a number of stimuli and can lead both to irreversible intracellular damage and signaling through reversible post-translational modification. It is unclear which factors contribute to the sensitivity of cysteine...
Cysteine (Cys) is the most reactive amino acid participating in a wide range of biological functions. In-silico predictions complement the experiments to meet the need of functional characterization. Multiple Cys function prediction algorithm is scar...

Protein s-nitrosylation (SNO) is one of the most important post-translational modifications and is formed by the covalent modification of nitric oxide and cysteine residues. Extensive studies have shown that SNO plays a pivotal role in the plant immu...
SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease is one of the key targets for drug development against COVID-19. Most known SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors act by covalently binding to the active site cysteine. Yet, computational screens against this enzyme were mainly f...
Although the application of nanozymes has been widely studied, it is still a huge challenge to develop highly active and multifunctional nanozyme catalysts with a wider application prospect. CoO/CoFeO hollow nanocubes (HNCs) with oxygen vacancies wer...
BACKGROUND: Cysteine-dense peptides (CDPs) are an attractive pharmaceutical scaffold that display extreme biochemical properties, low immunogenicity, and the ability to bind targets with high affinity and selectivity. While many CDPs have potential a...

Covalent inhibition offers many advantages over non-covalent inhibition, but covalent warhead reactivity must be carefully balanced to maintain potency while avoiding unwanted side effects. While warhead reactivities are commonly measured with assays...
The challenge of rapid identification of bacteria in food and water still persists as a major health problem. To tackle this matter, we have developed a single-probe liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensing platform for the differentiation of five c...
