The oxidative environment and protein damage

Michael J. Davies
- 17 Jan 2005 - 
- Vol. 1703, Iss: 2, pp 93-109
TLDR
The major fate of oxidised proteins is catabolism by proteosomal and lysosomal pathways, but some materials appear to be poorly degraded and accumulate within cells, and the accumulation of such damaged material may contribute to a range of human pathologies.

Carbonyl assays for determination of oxidatively modified proteins

TL;DR: New methods for determination ofcarbonyl content are presented, which are based on the reaction of carbonyl groups with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form a 2, 4-d Initrophenolhydrazone, which provide substantial improvements in both sensitivity and specificity.
