The specific chemical reactivity of thiol groups makes protein cysteines susceptible to reactions with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) resulting in the formation of various reversible and irreversible oxidative post-translational modifications (oxPTMs). This review highlights a number of gel-based redox proteomic approaches to detect protein oxPTMs, with particular emphasis on S-nitrosylation, which we believe are currently one of the most accurate way to analyze changes in the redox status of proteins. The information collected in this review relates to the recent progress regarding methods for the enrichment and identification of redox-modified proteins, with an emphasis on fluorescent gel proteomics. Gel-based fluorescent proteomic strategies are low-cost and easy-to-use tools for investigating the thiol proteome and can provide substantial information on redox signaling.

Background: Adherence of Helicobacter pylori to the surface of the gastric mucosa is the initial and crucial step for its survival and colonization in the harsh conditions of the stomach. We had previously demonstrated that daphnetin has anti-adhesion effect.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the mechanisms of daphnetin to reduce H.

The aim of study was to prepared and evaluated rutin-loaded solid-lipid-nanoparticles (Ru-SLNs) gel for treatment of melanoma cells. SLNs were prepared by ultrasonication method through optimisation and evaluated their mean-diameter, PDI, zeta-potential, morphology, entrapment-efficiency, drug-loading, interaction by FTIR, in vitro skin permeation, stability, antioxidant/MTT assay and fluorescence microscopic. Further developed Ru-SLNs was incorporated into gel and characterised their physicochemical properties, drug contents, in vitro diffusion, ex vivo permeation and retention studies in human cadaver skin.

The APOBEC3 family of polynucleotide cytidine deaminases has diverse roles as viral restriction factors and oncogenic mutators. These enzymes convert cytidine to uridine in single-stranded (ss)DNA, inducing genomic mutations that promote drug resistance and tumor heterogeneity. Of the seven human APOBEC3 members, APOBEC3A (A3A) and APOBEC3B (A3B) are most implicated in driving pro-tumorigenic mutations.

The widespread presence of antibiotic residues in the environment and food represents a significant threat to human health. In this study, a novel MOF-on-MOF (FCZE) gel with excellent peroxidase activity and strong fluorescence properties successfully synthesized by using Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a cross-linker and H₄BTEC as a ligand. Based on the energy transfer from the FCZE ligand to Eu luminescence, an ultrasensitive fluorescence method was developed for the detection of chlortetracycline (CTC), achieving a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.
