▪ Abstract Sulfur is essential for life. Its oxidation state is in constant flux as it circulates
through the global sulfur cycle. Plants play a key role in the cycle since they are primary …

Protein S‐glutathiolation, the reversible covalent addition of glutathione to cysteine residues
on target proteins, is emerging as a candidate mechanism by which both changes in the …

Aggregation of α‐synuclein, an abundant and conserved pre‐synaptic brain protein, is
implicated as a critical factor in several neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases …

Under the physiological conditions in vitro, α-synuclein, a conservative presynaptic protein,
the aggregation and fibrillation of which is assumed to be involved into the pathogenesis of …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during normal cellular activity and may exist
in excess in some pathophysiological conditions, such as inflammation or reperfusion injury …

Cumulative oxidative damages to cell constituents are considered to contribute to aging and
age-related diseases. The enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA) …

Oxidation of methionine residues to methionine sulfoxide can lead to inactivation of proteins.
Methionine sulfoxide reductase (MsrA) has been known for a long time, and its repairing …

Oxidative damage to proteins is considered to be one of the major causes of aging and age-
related diseases, and thus mechanisms have evolved to prevent or reverse these …

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates can cause damage to many cellular
components and have been implicated in a number of diseases. Cells have developed a …

Proteins, with their seemingly limitless functional diversity, are major players in the
maintenance of life. The ability of proteins to fulfill these various biological functions is …
