Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential mechanisms for regulating protein function. Among them, phosphorylation and sulfonation are two of the most common types. The study of these modifications relies heavily on artificially synthesized modified peptides, which play critical roles ...
Proteinase K is a broad-spectrum serine protease renowned for its exceptional stability and strong proteolytic activity. It retains high enzymatic activity under various denaturing conditions (e.g., in the presence of SDS or urea), making it particularly suitable for processing complex and rigid ...

Trypsin is a typical endopeptidase belonging to the serine protease family. Its primary catalytic mechanism involves the specific hydrolysis of peptide bonds at the carboxyl side of basic amino acids (arginine or lysine).
Watercress (Nasturtium officinale), a cruciferous vegetable, is rich in isothiocyanate compounds. These compounds exhibit anticancer properties and can induce Phase II detoxifying enzyme activity. The primary bioactive component of watercress is phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), followed by ...
Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and arugula. It belongs to a class of plant-derived products containing an isothiocyanate functional group. Sulforaphane exhibits notable cancer chemopreventive effects and exerts its ...
Resveratrol is a stilbene-type phytoalexin found in the skins and seeds of grapes, as well as in various other plants such as peanuts, soybeans, and mulberries. Similar to other phytoalexins, resveratrol exhibits diverse bioactivities, including antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotective, and ...
Isoflavones are a class of plant-derived compounds, many of which possess diverse bioactivities, including antioxidant properties.
Green tea leaf extract contains a variety of bioactive compounds. Initially isolated and studied for their antioxidant properties, these compounds were later found to also possess anticancer, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities.
