Topic: Protein function and gases

You learned about the importance of three-dimensional structure (conformation) and protein function and about the role of enzymes for many cellular process, ranging from metabolism to regulation.

You further learned that the 3D structure of proteins and enzymes can be modified and altered by many chemicals, both, endogenous or through external exposure.

(Using NCBI PubMed) and look for recent scientific articles showing the impact of gases (e.g. nitric oxide, superoxide anion radicals, carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulfide) on proteins or enzymes critical for normal cell functioning.

Select one article of your interest and start a discussion with your class mates. Make that you name your selected article in a reference section of your initial posting.
