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

Benzylmercapturic acid is a major metabolite of [methylene-14C]benzyl chloride in the marmoset, as in the rat. The excretion of the minor metabolites benzylmercapturic acid sulphoxide and benzylcysteine accounted for a greater proportion of the dose than in the rat. Excretion
Biosynthesis of N-acetylcysteine S-conjugates of toxic electrophiles, mercapturic acids, occurs via inter-organ metabolism and transport in which liver, small intestine and kidney play an important role. Since a mercapturic acid is a hydrophobic organic anion and strongly binds to plasma
Mercapturic acid formation in cultured opossum kidney cells.
Human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase was rapidly inactivated by low concentrations of O6-benzylguanine, but the alkyltransferase from the Escherichia coli ogt gene was much less sensitive and alkyltransferases from the E. coli ada gene or from yeast were not affected. O6-Benzyl-2'-deoxyguanosine was
