Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause irreversible carbonylation of proteins, resulting in structural and/or functional modifications. Carbonylated proteins were analyzed and compared in tissue extracts or purified mitochondria isolated from the leaves and roots of wild-type (WT) or MSC16 mutant cucumber plants. For analysis of the oxidized protein formation and degradation, several techniques were applied:...
