Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress on cysteine-containing proteins, like cofilin-1, can contribute to neuronal injuries, indicating the importance of cysteine's oxidation state in developing therapies.
- This research introduces a method for quantifying thiols in cofilin-1 using both traditional and modified Ellman's assay, which measures the reaction between cysteine and a specific reagent (DTNB).
- The study successfully demonstrated the reliability of surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR) to measure thiol concentrations, providing insights for future investigations into drug molecules and their impact on oxidized or reduced protein states.
