Proteomics of Protein Glutathionylation in Mitochondria of an Aging Heart Jessica Page Mentor: Dr. Claudia Maier Department of Chemistry
Protein Glutathionylation • ROS create an imbalance between glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSH) Glutathionylation: Modification of proteins with GSSG
2 GSH GSSG Protein-SH + GSSG Protein-S-SG + GSH Glutathionylation +
Goal Does damage to mitochondria as a result of protein oxidation and glutathionylation contribute to the loss of mitochondrial function in the aging heart?
