Vitamin C as Cancer Destroyer, Investigating Sulfhydration, and the Variability in CFTR Interactome
Abstract:
Each month, Chemistry & Biology Select highlights a selection of research reports from the recent literature. These highlights are a snapshot of interesting research done across the field of chemical biology. Our December 2015 selection includes an insight into how vitamin C destroys cancer cells, a new method that makes possible the investigatation of sulfhydration, and the mapping of the CFTR interactome and how it depends on the environmental conditions and differs between wild-type and disease-causing mutant.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...
Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
