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

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

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 ...
