Example sentences for: cysteinyl

How can you use “cysteinyl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • H 2 O 2 for its role in oxidizing thiol (SH) groups of cysteinyl amino acid residues in proteins.

  • As mentioned above, proteins—in particular, the thiols of cysteines—are the major targets of H 2 O 2 . The reaction of cysteinyl thiolates with H 2 O 2 can lead to the formation of different modifications, such as sulfenic acid (–SOH), sulfinic acid (–SO 2 H), and sulfonic acid (–SO3H), as well as disulfide bond formation (–S–S–) and glutathione conjugation (–S–GSH) (Jacob et al.

  • By glutathionylating a single cysteinyl residue, the protein is protected from further oxidation of that cysteinyl residue to the irreversible sulfinic and sulfonic acid forms.

  • As illustrated by the examples above, an array of chemical modifications obtained by oxidizing cysteinyl residues has been exploited in combating oxidative stress.

  • In the case of proteins that have a nearby cysteinyl residue, a disulfide bond forms between the two sulfur atoms.
