Homocysteine inhibits neoangiogenesis in mice through blockade of annexin A2-dependent fibrinolysis.

17 Oct 2009 When plasma levels of homocysteine (HC), a thiol amino acid formed upon methionine demethylation, exceed 12 muM, individuals are at increased risk of developing large vessel atherothrombosis and small vessel dysfunction. The annexin A2 complex ... Read more...

Comparison of collision- versus electron-induced dissociation of Pt(II) ternary complexes of histidine- and methionine-containing peptides.

29 Sep 2009 Incubation of the histidine-containing peptides (GH, HG, GGH, GHG, HGG) and methionine-containing peptides (GM, MG, GGM, GMG, MGG) with the platinum complexes [Pt(terpy)Cl](+) (A) and [Pt(dien)Cl](+) (B) followed by electrospray ionisation (ESI) led ... Read more...

Inhibition of methionine sulfoxide reduction by dimethyl sulfoxide.

28 Sep 2009 Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used in chemistry and biology as a solvent and as a cryoprotectant. It is also used as a pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of interstitial cystitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Previous reports described DMSO as ... Read more...
