Programme |
 |
This conference is in its second cycle after a very successful meeting in Nancy (France) in 2008. The aim of this conference is to discuss cutting-edge developments in our attempts to understand the emerging mechanisms associated with redox processes in living cells. Thiols will form the central theme. The keywords describing the conference are redox, thiols, iron-sulfur, cysteine, thiol/disulfide exchange reactions, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, redox regulation and signaling, reactive oxygen species, glutathione, mycothiol, trypanothione, detoxification, peroxiredoxins, sulfenic acid, and oxidative protein folding.
To learn more about the conference, please see the programme.
