Evidence that protein thiols are not primary targets of intracellular reactive oxygen species in growing Escherichia coli
The oxidizability of cysteine residues is exploited in redox chemistry and as a source of stabilizing disulfide bonds, but it also raises the possibility that these side chains will be oxidized when they should not be. It has often been suggested that intracellular oxidative stress from hydrogen per...
