Abstract excerpt
Peroxynitrite is a potent reactive oxygen species that is believed to mediate deleterious protein modifications in a wide variety of neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we have analysed the effects of oxidative damage induced by peroxynitrite on a cysteine-free mutant of dihydrofolate reductase (SE-DHFR), from a functional and a structural point of view. The peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation results in the...
