The DmsABC S-oxide reductase is an essential component of a novel, hypochlorite-inducible system of extracellular stress defense in Haemophilus influenzae: This study illustrates the enzymatic action of L-Methionine sulfoxide reductase in bacterial defense systems, underscoring its biotechnological applications in developing antimicrobial strategies (Nasreen et al., 2024).

L-Methionine sulfoxide, a structural analog of glutamate, may be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of various methionine sulfoxide reductase(s).
Aging varies among individuals due to both genetics and environment, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Using a highly recombined Saccharomyces cerevisiae population, we found 30 distinct quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control chronological life span (CLS) in
Despite significant advances on fluorescent labeling of target proteins to study their structural dynamics and function, there has been need for labeling with high quantum yield ensuring high sensitivity and selectivity without sacrificing the biological function of the protein. Here

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; "ecstasy") is widely consumed recreationally. Little is known about its effects on the human metabolome. Mapping biochemical changes after drug exposure can complement traditional approaches by revealing potential biomarkers of organ toxicity or discovering new metabolomic features in
Cysteine and methionine residues are the amino acids most sensitive to oxidation by reactive oxygen species. However, in contrast to other amino acids, certain cysteine and methionine oxidation products can be reduced within proteins by dedicated enzymatic repair systems. Oxidation
Aims: The post-translational oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) is a reversible process, enabling the repair of oxidative damage to proteins and the use of sulfoxidation as a regulatory switch. MetSO reductases catalyze the stereospecific reduction of MetSO. One
