4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-chloride) is a fluorescence assay reagent used to label free sulfhydryls and N-terminals within proteins. NBD-chloride is used as an enzyme inhibitor and as a trapping agent for cysteine sulfenic acid.
C165S AhpC in its sulfenate (Cys-SO-) and presumed thiolate (Cys-S-) forms at pH 7 (pKa for sulfenic acid about pH 6.1) exhibit low extinction absorbance bands around 367 and 324 nm, respectively. Sulfenic acid content of the protein can be

Pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenases of bacterial cytosolic membranes and mitochondrial inner membranes are proton pumps in which hydride transfer between NADP(+) and NAD(+) is coupled to proton translocation across cytosolic or mitochondrial membranes. The pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase of Escherichia coli is

Maintenance of the asymmetric distribution of phospholipids across the plasma membrane is a prerequisite for the survival of erythrocytes. Various stimuli have been shown to induce scrambling of phospholipids and thereby exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS). In two types of patients

This study investigated whether molecules spontaneously transported inside cells, like glucose derivatives, can also be used as electropermeabilization markers. Uptake of a fluorescent deoxyglucose derivative (2-NBDG) by normal and electropermeabilized cells in culture was analyzed. 2-NBDG was added to DC-3F
