Abstract

Peroxynitrite-mediated one-electron oxidations may be an important event in its cytotoxic mechanisms, and yet, free radical formation in the presence of peroxynitrite is difficult to study by EPR-spin trapping because adducts from most spin traps are destroyed by the oxidant. This led to some controversy with regard to the interpretation of experiments in the presence of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), an adequate spin trap to study most of free radicals. In this report we reexamined peroxynitrite-mediate formation of spin-trap adducts. Kinetic studies and EPR experiments with water labeled with 17O are in agreement with the reaction of DMPO with a highly reactive intermediate derived from peroxynitrite to produce the DMPO-hydroxyl radical adduct by a mechanism not involving the oxidation of DMPO to a cation radical followed by water addition. The results cannot discriminate between two mechanisms of DMPO-hydroxyl radical formation, either spontaneous peroxynitrite homolysis to the hydroxyl radical or DMPO-assisted peroxynitrite homolysis. The formation of DMPO adducts during peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, and formate occurs through free radical mechanisms as confirmed by studies of ox...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
