How can you use “sulfenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In this case, H 2 O 2 reacts with a cysteine in Orp1, forming an unstable sulfenic acid intermediate that then reacts with a cysteinyl residue of Yap1 to form an intermolecular disulfide.
If no cysteinyl residue is nearby, the sulfenated cysteine can be further oxidized to sulfinic or sulfonic acid, or it can remain in the sulfenic acid state.
Given the reversibility of thiol oxidations and the wide range of structural constraints that can be imposed by the formation of a sulfenic or sulfinic acid or a disulfide bond, we predict there will be many more examples of regulation by thiol modification.
OhrR transcription regulator contains only a single cysteine that forms a relatively stable sulfenic acid upon its reaction with H 2 O 2 or organic peroxides (Fuangthong and Helmann 2002).
The unusually reactive cysteine in OxyR that is oxidized by H 2 O 2 to form the sulfenic acid intermediate can clearly be nitrosylated and glutathionylated in vitro (Hausladen et al.
