Cysteine oxidation is a crucial biochemical process whereby the thiol side chain of cysteine residues is modified by reactive oxygen species. These modifications, including sulfenylation and ...

Aluminum's journey has been remarkable, going from being more expensive than gold to one of the most widely used materials, from beverage cans to window frames and car parts. Scientists from the ...

A new study led by Jay Ague, professor of earth and planetary sciences at Yale, has provided crucial insights into the role of oxidation in volcanic formation. The team behind the study is an ...

Researchers have designed chimeric redox-sensitive polypeptides as the first step towards development of the FRET-based biosensors for visualizing redox potentials and oxidative stress in live cells ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

Most chemists would describe titanium dioxide as an ionic compound composed of Ti 4+ and two O 2–. Not so, suggests a theoretical analysis: TiO 2 is better described with the charge states Ti 3+ and O ...
