(Cunha et al., 2024).

  • Molecular targets of cisplatin in HeLa cells explored through competitive activity-based protein profiling strategy.: Utilizing iodoacetamide in competitive activity-based protein profiling, this study identifies molecular targets of cisplatin in HeLa cells, providing insights into the drug′s mechanisms. (Chen et al., 2024).

  • Development and Comparison of 4-Thiouridine to Cytidine Base Conversion Reaction.: This research compares base conversion reactions involving 4-thiouridine and cytidine, with iodoacetamide playing a crucial role in the reaction mechanism, contributing to advancements in nucleotide chemistry. (Ohashi et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Iodoacetamide acts as an alkylating reagent for cysteine residues in peptide sequencing. It is an irreversible inhibitor of enzymes with cysteine at the active site. It reacts much more slowly with histidine residues, but that activity is responsible for inhibiting ribonuclease.

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) associates with fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor-1 (FGFR1). However, the biological significance of this interaction remains largely elusive. In this study, we show that NCAM induces a specific, FGFR1-mediated cellular response that is remarkably different

Cysteines (Cys) made acidic by the protein environment are generally sensitive to pro-oxidant molecules. Glutathionylation is a post-translational modification that can occur by spontaneous reaction of reduced glutathione (GSH) with oxidized Cys as sulfenic acids (-SOH). The reverse reaction (deglutathionylation)

Atherosclerotic plaque development is closely associated with the hemodynamic forces applied to endothelial cells (ECs). Among these, shear stress (SS) plays a key role in disease development since changes in flow intensity and direction could stimulate an atheroprone or atheroprotective

Smoking is a well-established risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it has been proposed that smoking-induced citrullination renders autoantigens immunogenic. To investigate this mechanism, we examined human lung tissue from 40 subjects with defined smoking status, with or without
