Reactive Oxygen Species in Cardiometabolic Syndrome, Neuronal Diseases and Cancer: From Bench to its Potential Therapeutics systematically summarizes findings concerning the biochemical properties of various reactive oxygen species (ROS). The book opens with foundational coverage of ROS, ROS signaling, as well as the role of ROS in controlling gene expression. Subsequent chapters cover molecular mechanisms of ROS, regulation of gene expression, and antioxidant supplementation with cardiometabolic syndrome, various neuronal diseases, and cancer. It concludes with recent findings on therapeutic modulations of intracellular levels of ROS, which may significantly impact the development of novel agents for treating the conditions covered.This is a must-have reference for scientists and medical professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of ROS research and the impact on treatments for cardiometabolic syndrome, neuronal diseases, and cancer.

Protein termini represent a major route to protein regulation. From the moment the very first amino acid of a polypeptide chain exits the ribosome there is potential for steering from the cellular environment. This volume of Methods in Enzymology Modifications and Targeting of Protein Termini focuses on Protein N-termini and C-termini and their modifications which include acetylation, arginylation, myristoylation and oxidation. Also, the impact of terminal modifications is covered, in particular the impact on protein turnover and the ubiquitin E3 ligases which specifically recognize protein N-termini (N-degrons) and C-termini (C-degrons). In addition to the detailed methods and laboratory protocols, the chapters include informative overviews and reviews of the different subfields.
