Exposure of biological molecules to oxidants is inevitable and therefore commonplace.
Oxidative stress in cells arises from both external agents and endogenous processes that …

Generation of reactive oxygen species and related oxidants is an inevitable consequence of
life. Proteins are major targets for oxidation reactions, because of their rapid reaction rates …

The concept of cell signaling in the context of nonenzyme-assisted protein modifications by
reactive electrophilic and oxidative species, broadly known as redox signaling, is a uniquely …

Significance: The imino acid proline is utilized by different organisms to offset cellular
imbalances caused by environmental stress. The wide use in nature of proline as a stress …

Processed meats represent a large percentage of muscle foods consumed in the western
world. Various processing steps affect the physicochemical properties of the meat …

Regular consumption of fish promotes sustainable health while reducing negative
environmental impacts. Fermentation has long been used for preserving perishable foods …

Protein oxidation (P-OX) is an innovative topic of increasing interest among meat
researchers. Carbonylation is generally recognized as one of the most remarkable chemical …

Free radicals and other reactive species (RS) are thought to play an important role in many
human diseases. Establishing their precise role requires the ability to measure them and the …

Stress factors provoke enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants.
ROS that escape antioxidant-mediated scavenging/detoxification react with biomolecules …

We summarize here results of studies designed to elucidate basic mechanisms of reactive
oxygen (ROS)-mediated oxidation of proteins and free amino acids. These studies have …
