Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic. oxidations. Many PTMs targeted a single reactive SOD1 cysteine Cys111. An intriguing observation was that unlike native SOD1 cysteinylated SOD1 was not oxidized. To further characterize how cysteinylation may safeguard SOD1 from oxidation cysteine altered SOD1 was prepared in vitro and exposed to peroxide. Cysteinylation conferred nearly Rabbit Polyclonal… Continue reading Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic. oxidations. Many PTMs targeted a
