Perotto and colleagues took advantage of the thiol groups on the cysteine amino acids in keratin. They thought they could ...

Skunks are most active in spring. They’re most known for their ability to spray musk when threatened – they can spray with accuracy up to 15 feet ...

My team and I studied whether an antioxidant called a thiol group could help treat traumatic brain injury. Thiol groups are chemical compounds that contain a sulfur atom bound to a hydrogen atom.

The results indicate that focusing on bacterial biological processes that support the maintenance of thiol levels may be a promising avenue for the development of more effective treatments.
