The molecular mechanisms that control how progenitors generate distinct subtypes of neurons, and how undifferentiated neurons acquire their specific identity during corticogenesis, are increasingly understood. However, whether postmitotic neurons can change their identity at late stages of differentiation remains unknown.
Recombinant streptavidin (rSAv) is of interest as a carrier of alpha-emitting radionuclides in pretargeting protocols for cancer therapy. Due to the inherently high kidney localization of rSAv, modification of this protein is required before it can be useful in pretargeting.

The plausible role of arginine and tyrosine residues at the active side of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in aromatic donor (guaiacol) oxidation was probed by chemical modification followed by characterization of the modified enzyme. The arginine-specific reagents phenylglyoxal (PGO), 2,3-butanedione and

The West African green mamba, Dendroaspis angusticeps, has two toxins, fasciculins, that are non-competitive inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Arginine residues of fasciculin 2 were modified with 1,2-cyclohexanedione. Two of these residues, Arg24 and Arg37, reacted very slowly or not at all.
The thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) dependent flavoenzyme cyclohexane-1,2-dione hydrolase (CDH) (EC 3.7.1.11) catalyses a key step of a novel anaerobic degradation pathway for alicyclic alcohols by converting cyclohexane-1,2-dione (CDO) to 6-oxohexanoate and further to adipate using NAD(+) as electron acceptor.
