Perotto and colleagues took advantage of the thiol groups on the cysteine amino acids in keratin. They thought they could ...

Addressing the harmful chemical processes that accompany blunt force trauma to the brain can reduce the risk of long-term disability.

Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability in the world. Blunt force trauma to the brain, often from a bad fall or traffic accident, accounts for the deaths of over 61,000 ...

interferon gamma (INF-γ), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), activity of aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALA-D), nonprotein and total thiol ...

Here, the authors report an iron-catalyzed soft coupling of sp 3-hybridized benzyl or tertiary halides with soft thiol, alcohol and ... deuterium-labeled amino acids remains a challenge.

Proteins in tuna tissues, particularly sulfur-containing amino acids, strongly bind and accumulate mercury due to the strong interactions involving thiol groups from these amino acids. A jar of tuna ...

The researchers used mixtures containing organic molecules with diverse functional groups, including carboxylic acids, amines, thiols, and hydroxyls. By subjecting these mixtures to repeated wet-dry ...

The current focus on precision and sustainable efficiency has pushed ion exchange resins beyond their traditional applications. Specialty ion exchange resins that feature custom chemical designs and ...

For their new work, the researchers focused on a chemical motif that appears in mussel adhesives: a bond between two chemical groups known as "catechols" and "thiols." In the mussel's natural glue ...
