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

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

Justicia spicigera is a plant species used for the Teenak (Huesteca Potosina) and Mayan (Yucatan peninsula) indigenous for the empirical treatment of diabetes, infections and as stimulant. To evaluate the cytotoxicity, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of J. spicigera. The effects
There are currently 2 existing confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) platforms: probe-based CLE (pCLE) and endoscope-based CLE (eCLE) systems, each with its own criteria for identifying dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus (BE). The diagnostic performance of these 2 systems has not been
Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (SGLT1 and SGLT2), which have a key role in the absorption of glucose in the kidney and/or gastrointestinal tract, have been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetes and cardiomyopathy. Here we developed a simple cell-based
