Cysteine oxidation is a crucial biochemical process whereby the thiol side chain of cysteine residues is modified by reactive oxygen species. These modifications, including sulfenylation and ...

Aging is one of the fundamental processes of life, observed not only in multicellular organisms but also in unicellular eukaryotes and even in bacteria. 1 Despite many years of research, the cause and ...

MXene materials are promising candidates for a new energy storage technology. However, the processes by which the charge ...

Clock:BMAL1 and NPAS2:BMAL1 are heterodimeric transcription factors that control gene expression as a function of the light-dark cycle. Although built to fluctuate at or near a 24-hour cycle, the ...

A new study led by Jay Ague, professor of earth and planetary sciences at Yale, has provided crucial insights into the role of oxidation in volcanic formation. The team behind the study is an ...

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction while undergoing no permanent change at the end of the reaction. In order to understand the performance of catalysts, it is important to ...

Zircons, a mineral nearly as old as Earth itself, is a time keeper, and also provides a chemical window into many geological phenomena, such as oxidation state. By determining the oxidation levels of ...

Most chemists would describe titanium dioxide as an ionic compound composed of Ti 4+ and two O 2–. Not so, suggests a theoretical analysis: TiO 2 is better described with the charge states Ti 3+ and O ...
