A robust adaptive immune response requires a phase of proliferative burst which is followed
by the polarization of T cells into relevant functional subsets. Both processes are associated …

Upon antigen stimulation, T lymphocytes undergo dramatic changes in metabolism to fulfill
the bioenergetic, biosynthetic and redox demands of proliferation and differentiation …

Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant non-protein thiol in living organisms. Due to its
important antioxidant role, it is widely used in medicine, as a food additive, and in the …

Abstract Glutathione (GSH), l-γ-glutamyl-l-cysteinyl-glycine, is the major low-molecular-
weight thiol compound present in almost all eukaryotic cells. GSH degradation proceeds …

Glutathione, γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, is the most abundant non-protein thiol found in
almost all eukaryotic cells (and in some prokaryotes). The tripeptide, which is synthesized …

The energetics of peptide bond formation is an important factor not only in the design of
chemical peptide synthesis, but it also has a role in protein biosynthesis. In this work …

After the definition of the peptide bond and its strength, as measured by its amidicity values
the Ramachandran type potential energy surface (PES) of the backbone was investigated …
