Journal Article
Hull, J., Patel, V. B., Hutson, S. M., & Conway, M. E. (2015). New insights into the role of the branched-chain aminotransferase proteins in the human brain. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 93(7), 987-998. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.23558

© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase (hBCATc) enzyme is strategically located in glutamatergic neurons, where it is thought to provide approximately 30% of de novo nitrogen for brain glutamate synthesis....

The redox switch that regulates molecular chaperones (2015)
Journal Article
Conway, M. E., & Lee, C. (2015). The redox switch that regulates molecular chaperones. BioMolecular Concepts, 6(4), 269-284. https://doi.org/10.1515/bmc-2015-0015

© 2015 by De Gruyter. Modification of reactive cysteine residues plays an integral role in redox-regulated reactions. Oxidation of thiolate anions to sulphenic acid can result in disulphide bond formation, or overoxidation to sulphonic acid, represen...
