EFOX molecules by LC-MS Thanks to modern LC (HPLC)-MS, so EFOX molecules can be discovered!!! LC-MS is able to detect the trace amount of small molecules in a very short time. LCMS-2020 Mass Spectrometer Systems Delivering the ultimate in measurement speed and sensitivity, the compact LCMS-2020 mass spectrometer offers faster measurements and higher detection sensitivity for quicker and more accurate detection of trace impurities, environmental pollutants, and other contaminants. When combined with a Prominence ultra-fast LC (UFLC/UFLCXR), you’ll achieve the ultimate in separation performance and productivity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry
Tp-1 peptide: 15d-PGJ2 modification site is in the sequence on Cys-35 but not Cys-32. Takahiro Shibata et al Thioredoxin as a Molecular Target of Cyclopentenone Prostaglandins, JBC 2003
PGJ2 Electrophilic molecules are endogenously generated and are causally involved in many pathophysiological effects. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), a major cyclooxygenase product in a variety of tissues, readily undergoes dehydration to yield the cyclopentenone-type PGs of the J2-series such as 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2). 15d-PGJ2 is an electrophile, which can covalently react via the Michael addition reaction with nucleophiles, such as the free sulfhydryls of glutathione and cysteine residues in cellular proteins that play an important role in the control of the redox cell-signaling pathways. Covalent binding of 15d-PGJ2 to cellular proteins may be one of the mechanisms by which 15d-PGJ2 induces a cellular response involved in most of the pathophysiological effects associated with inflammation. In the present perspective, we provide a comprehensive summary of 15d-PGJ2 as an electrophilic mediator of cellular responses.

The free-radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell.
Free Radicals Radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons on an open shell configuration. Free radicals may have positive, negative, or zero charge. With some exceptions, the unpaired electrons cause radicals to be highly chemically reactive. Radicals, if allowed to run free in the body, are believed to be involved in degenerative diseases, senescence and cancers. UV Cl2 Cl + Cl 2Cl·→ Cl2

Most alcohol diseases are associated to DNA damage, or DNA-protein crosslink FrédéricLangevin, et al Fancd2 counteracts the toxic effects of naturally produced aldehydes in mice Nature 475, 53–58 (07 July 2011) Reactive aldehydes are common carcinogens. They are also by-products of several metabolic pathways and, without enzymatic catabolism, may accumulate and cause DNA damage. Ethanol, which is metabolised to acetaldehyde, is both carcinogenic and teratogenic in humans. Here we find that the Fanconianaemia DNA repair pathway counteracts acetaldehyde-induced genotoxicity in mice. Our results show that the acetaldehyde-catabolising enzyme Aldh2 is essential for the development of Fancd2−/−embryos. Nevertheless, acetaldehyde-catabolism-competent mothers (Aldh2+/−) can support the development of double-mutant (Aldh2−/−Fancd2−/−) mice. However, these embryos are unusually sensitive to ethanol exposureinutero, and ethanol consumption by postnatal double-deficient mice rapidly precipitates bone marrow failure. Lastly, Aldh2−/−Fancd2−/− mice spontaneously develop acute leukaemia. Acetaldehyde-mediated DNA damage may critically contribute to the genesis of fetal alcohol syndrome in fetuses, as well as to abnormal development, haematopoietic failure and cancer predisposition in Fanconianaemia patients.

Jogurteista ja lasten hedelmäsoseista löytyi korkeita pitoisuuksia asetaldehydiä • Turun Sanomat 7.2 2010 05:00:11 – Tutkin nykyään laboratoriossa, mitä lastenlapseni syövät. Viili on turvallisempi kuin jogurtit, professori Mikko Salapuro sanoo. ProfessoriMikko Salaspuroon huolissaan suomalaisten elintarvikkeiden asetaldehydipitoisuuksista. Maailman terveysjärjestön WHO:n alainen kansainvälinen syöväntutkimuslaitos luokitteli asetaldehydin viime lokakuussa ihmisille syöpää aiheuttavaksi aineeksi alkoholin juomisen yhteydessä. Se nousi ylimpään riskiluokkaan, johon kuuluvat myös tupakka ja asbesti. Suun ja suoliston bakteerit ja hiivat muuttavat alkoholin syöpää aiheuttavaksi asetaldehydiksi. Ainetta on myös alkoholijuomissa ja tupakassa. Lisäksi asetaldehydiä löytyy useista tavallisista elintarvikkeista. Sitä muodostuu käymisellä valmistettuihin tuotteisiin, kuten maitovalmisteisiin, soijaruokiin, säilöttyihin vihanneksiin, etikkaan, kotikaljaan ja simaan. Asetaldehydiä käytetään myös elintarvikkeiden aromiaineena. Ainetta lisätään esimerkiksi hedelmämehuihin, virvoitusjuomiin, jälkiruokiin ja maitovalmisteisiin. Pitoisuuksia ei tarvitse ilmoittaa tuoteselosteessa. Asetaldehydiä muodostuu myös sisäsyntyisesti joihinkin hedelmiin, kuten omenoihin, päärynöihin ja marjoihin. Sitä käytetään myös marjojen ja hedelmien säilöntäaineena. Mikko Salapuron työryhmä on tutkinut laboratoriossa Suomessa myytävien elintarvikkeiden asetaldehydipitoisuuksia, koska niistä on toistaiseksi hyvin vähän tietoa. Testien mukaan jogurttien keskimääräinen asetaldehydipitoisuus ylittää riskirajan kahdeksankertaisesti. Vastaavia pitoisuuksia Salaspuro on mitannut useista hedelmämehuista ja soijakastikkeista. – Jopa vauvojen hedelmäsoseista löytyy samoja pitoisuuksia kuin jogurteista. Pitoisuus ylittää aikuisillekin sallitun rajan. Lapsilla painoon suhteutettu ylitys voi olla jopa 70-kertainen, Salaspuro kertoo. Lisää aiheesta sunnuntain Turun Sanomissa.
