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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chemical engineers have developed a machine-learning model that can predict a compound's oxidation state, a property that is so essential that many chemists argue it must be included in the periodic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chemical elements make up pretty much everything in the physical world. As of 2016, we know of 118 elements, all of which can be found categorized in the famous periodic table that hangs in every ...
