The role of the thiol group in protein modification with methylglyoxal
Methylglyoxal is a highly reactive α-oxoaldehyde with elevated production in hyperglycemia. It reacts with nucleophilic Lys and Arg side-chains and N-terminal amino groups causing protein modification. In the present study, the importance of the reaction of the Cys thiol group with methylglyoxal in...
