The vicinal dithiol motif is widely present in proteins, and is critical for proteins' structures
and functions. In recent years, a variety of fluorescent probes with high specificity and …

(2-Pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) is one of the most popular chromogenic chelator used in the
determination of the concentrations of various metal ions from the d, p and f blocks and their …

The fluorescent modification of proteins (with genetically encoded low‐molecular‐mass
fluorophores, affinity probes, or other chemically active species) is extraordinarily useful for …

Mammalian metallothioneins (MTs) are small cysteine-rich proteins whose primary role is
participation in zinc and copper homeostasis. Ever since their discovery, MTs have been …

Zincon (ZI) is one of the most common chromophoric chelating probes for the determination
of Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ ions. It is also known to bind other metal ions. However, literature data …

Abstract Metallothioneins (MTs), small cysteine-rich proteins, present in four major isoforms,
are key proteins involved in zinc and copper homeostasis in mammals. To date, only one X …

In natural biological systems, proteins exploit various functional peptide motifs to exert target
response and activity switch, providing a functional and logic basis for complex cellular …

The minimal zinc hook peptide of Rad50 and its alanine mutants form highly stable Zn (II)
complexes. These peptides were successfully used as a small, efficient tag for reversible Zn …

Glutathione disulfide (GSSG), a long disregarded redox partner of glutathione (GSH), is
thought to participate in intracellular zinc homeostasis. We performed a concerted …
