Low dose ionizing radiation produces too few reactive oxygen species to directly affect antioxidant concentrations in cells (2012)
Journal Article
Smith, J. T., Willey, N., & Hancock, J. T. (2012). Low dose ionizing radiation produces too few reactive oxygen species to directly affect antioxidant concentrations in cells. Biology Letters, 8(4), 594-597. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2012.0150

It has been hypothesized that radiation-induced oxidative stress is the mechanism for a wide range of negative impacts on biota living in radioactively contaminated areas around Chernobyl. The present study tests this hypothesis mechanistically, for...

Differential redox potential between the human cytosolic and mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (2012)
Journal Article
Coles, S. J., Hancock, J. T., & Conway, M. E. (2012). Differential redox potential between the human cytosolic and mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase. Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 44(2), 172-176. https://doi.org/10.1093/abbs/gmr103

The human branched-chain aminotransferase (hBCAT) isoenzymes are CXXC motif redox sensitive homodimers central to glutamate metabolism in the central nervous system. These proteins respond differently to oxidation by H 2O 2, NO, and S-glutathionylati...
