Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are upstream of amyloid pathology.

Neurobiol. Dis. 84 , 109-19, (2015)

Oxidative stress is a common feature of the aging process and of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the direct causative relationship between oxidative stress and amyloid pathology, and determining the underlying mo...

Molecularly imprinted tunable binding sites based on conjugated prosthetic groups and ion-paired cofactors.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 131(25) , 8833-8, (2009)

A molecular imprinting technique was applied to the construction of prosthetic group-coupled tunable binding cavities for bisphenol A (BPA). A novel template molecule, with a structure consisting of BPA covalently conjugated with two allyl(4-carboxyphenyl)dis...

Quick measurement of protein sulfhydryls with Ellman's reagent and with 4,4'-dithiodipyridine.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 373(4-5) , 266-76, (2002)

Since its introduction in 1959, Ellman's reagent (5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) has been the favorite reagent for spectrophotometric measurement of protein sulfhydryls. Meanwhile however, evidence has accumulated that many protein sulfhydryls give an ...

Sulfhydryl modification by 4,4'-dithiodipyridine induces calcium mobilization in human osteoblast-like cells.

Arch. Toxicol. 77(11) , 630-7, (2003)

The effect of oxidants on Ca(2+) movement in osteoblasts is unclear. In this study, we show that 4,4'-dithiodipyridine (4,4'-DTDP), a reactive disulphide that mobilizes Ca(2+) in muscle, induces an increase in cytoplasmic free-Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](...

O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase: low pKa and high reactivity of cysteine 145.

Biochemistry 42(37) , 10965-70, (2003)

The active site cysteine of human O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT), Cys145, was shown to be highly reactive with model electrophiles unrelated to substrates, including 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. The high reactivity suggested that the Cys145 thi...

Biphasic modulation of ryanodine receptors by sulfhydryl oxidation in rat ventricular myocytes.

Biophys. J. 91(8) , 2882-91, (2006)

To understand better the modulation of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) during oxidative stress, the effect of 4,4'-dithiodipyridine (DTDP), a cell-permeant and thiol-reactive oxidant, on global Ca(2+) signal and spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks of rat ventricular myocyte...

Cytoplasmic glutathione redox status determines survival upon exposure to the thiol-oxidant 4,4'-dipyridyl disulfide.

FEMS Yeast Res. 7(3) , 391-403, (2007)

Dipyridyl disulfide (DPS) is a highly reactive thiol oxidant that functions as electron acceptor in thiol-disulfide exchange reactions. DPS is very toxic to yeasts, impairing growth at low micromolar concentrations. The genes TRX2 (thioredoxin), SOD1 (superox...

Conformational change of the E-F interhelical loop in the M photointermediate of bacteriorhodopsin.

J. Mol. Biol. 317(3) , 471-8, (2002)

The conformation of the structured EF interhelical loop of bacteriorhodopsin and its change in the M photointermediate were assessed by measuring the rate of reaction of 16 single engineered cysteine residues along the loop with water-soluble sulfhydryl reage...

Synthesis and structural characterization of binuclear half-sandwich iridium, rhodium and ruthenium complexes containing 4,4'-dipyridyldisulfide (4DPDS) ligands.

Dalton Trans. 39(30) , 7119-24, (2010)

Reactions of half-sandwich iridium and rhodium complexes [Cp*MCl2]2 (1a: M = Ir, 1b: M = Rh) and the half-sandwich ruthenium complex [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2 (1c) with 4DPDS gave the corresponding binuclear complexes [{Cp*MCl2]2}(m-4DPDS) (2a: M = Ir, 2b: M = Rh) a...

Oxidant resistance in a yeast mutant deficient in the Sit4 phosphatase.

Curr. Genet. 53(5) , 275-86, (2008)

Resistance to thiol oxidation can arise from mutations altering redox homeostasis. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae sit4-110 mutant is here described, which was isolated as resistant to the thiol-specific oxidant dipyridyl disulfide (DPS) and which contains a singl...
