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...
Machine learning (ML) is ubiquitous in bioinformatics, due to its versatility. One of the most crucial aspects to consider while training a ML model is to carefully select the optimal feature encoding for the problem at hand. Biophysical propensity s...
Bispecific antibodies are regarded as the next generation of therapeutic modalities as they can simultaneously bind multiple targets, increasing the efficacy of treatments for several diseases and opening up previously unattainable treatment designs....
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) renal scan. Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?
Protein S-sulfenylation, which results from oxidation of free thiols on cysteine residues, has recently emerged as an important post-translational modification that regulates the structure and function of proteins involved in a variety of physiologic...
The plant apoplast is integral to intercellular signalling, transport and plant-pathogen interactions. Plant pathogens deliver effectors both into the apoplast and inside host cells, but no computational method currently exists to discriminate betwee...
BACKGROUND: Garlic-derived S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC) has widely been used in many disease therapies. However, the potential effects and mechanism of SAMC on IL-1-stimulated chondrocytes are unclear.
As one of the most intrinsically reactive amino acids, cysteine carries a variety of important biochemical functions, including catalysis and redox regulation. Discovery and characterization of cysteines with heightened reactivity will help annotate ...
