The oxidation state of proteins in cells can be analyzed with a simple labeling method. Cysteines are both exceptionally useful to cells and exceptionally vulnerable. The reactivity of free thiol ...

Polymers with covalent cross-links, once formed, cannot generally be reshaped, remolded, or deformed, which is attractive for creating robust materials but these properties can also severely limit ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal nanoclusters are tiny, crystalline structures up to two nanometers (2 x 10-9 meters) in diameter that contain a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Understanding the precise assembly ...

Silver nanoparticles are well known for their anti-bacteria properties[1-4]. One of the main routes by which they may act as an anti-bacteria agent, is through attaching themselves to the thiol group ...

A recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology investigated the effects of thiol drugs on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Clinton Mathias, associate professor of nutritional sciences in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR), has discovered a potential new treatment for allergic reactions.

Silica, a common food additive and cosmetics ingredient, may not be as chemically inert as once thought. According to a new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, ...
