Body odour is a characteristic trait of Homo sapiens, however its role in human behaviour and evolution is poorly understood. Remarkably, body odour is linked to the presence of a few species of commensal microbes. Herein we discover a bacterial

Previously, it was shown that beta-elimination of selenocysteine Se-conjugates by rat renal cytosol leading to pyruvate formation was not solely catalyzed by pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes. It was hypothesized that selenoxidation of the selenocysteine Se-conjugates, followed by syn-elimination, may be an

Cysteine conjugate S-oxidase activity, with S-benzyl-L-cysteine as substrate, was found mostly in the microsomal fractions of rat liver and kidney. In the presence of oxygen and NADPH, S-benzyl-L-cysteine is converted to S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide; no S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfone was detected. The Vmax

To explore the possibility of utilizing cysteine derivatives for technetium-99m radiopharmaceutical preparation with clinical potential, we synthesized two benzyl substituted cysteine compounds, namely, S-benzyl cysteine 1 and cysteine benzyl ester 3. It was expected, from our previous studies on benzoyl

We investigated the capacity and the localization of N-acetylation of the mercapturic acid precursor S-benzyl-L-cysteine (BC), as well as the tubular reabsorption of this compound in the rat kidney in vivo et situ by renal clearance and continuous microinfusion and
