Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, ...

Oxidation of cysteine residues is a well-described means of sensing oxidative stress. Analysis of a bacterial transcriptional repressor protein indicates that metal-catalyzed oxidation of ...

These activities comprise proteases, oxidoreductases and metabolic enzymes that rely on cysteine residues for catalysis and regulation. Functional cysteine residues demonstrate heightened reactivity ...
