The thiols groups of cysteine residues on proteins are attractive oxidative targets for modification by reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Such modification can lead to important cellular signaling processes that ultimately re... Read More about Tools to investigate reaction oxygen species-sensitive signaling proteins.

Cell signalling is the music of life (2009)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T. (2009). Cell signalling is the music of life. British Journal of Biomedical Science, 65, 205-208

Cell signalling is an immensely important topic in biological and biomedical sciences, and one which has an ever-increasing literature. As more and more is known about it, and more components are discovered, it is getting harder and harder to visuali... Read More about Cell signalling is the music of life.

High rainfall and rapid water uptake by dry seed after sowing in the field can result in so-called seed imbibitional damage. Here, lipid peroxidation levels were evaluated in seed testa, embryos and cotyledons of three soybean cultivars (Podravka 95,... Read More about Lipid peroxidation levels in soybean (Glycine max (L.)
