New faces are a feature of our new Redoxoma Newsletter. We start with the emerging biochemistry of persulfides and hydrogen sulfide and follow on the entirely novel concept of peroxymonocarbonate as a mechanism of peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation in the presence of bicarbonate/ carbon dioxide. And we go on in Shakespeare´s style from "something rotten in the redox kingdom" to "to adhere or not to adhere: this is the question". I believe Prince Hamlet would have loved the dualities of redox biochemistry - as confronted to the dualities of life. Speaking of dualities, we come back once more to scientific publications, with an important statement summary from our colleagues. And we end with a translational dive into the redox pathways of sickle cell anemia. These brief notes highlight the multidisciplinary mood of Redoxoma investigators and the enthusiastic pace of research being developed in the network.

Welcome to the novel issue of the Redoxoma Newsletter !

Welcome to the new issue of our Redoxoma Newsletter!

Soon you will notice a nice feature of this issue: an essay on electronic laboratory notebooks, which are coming steadily to replace the paper notebooks. Or not? Take your own conclusions, there many issues worth discussing. But the best part, in my view, is that the essay was conceived and written by two PhD students from Redoxoma. Hopefully this will be a good example to be followed by other PhD students and post-docs: we are eagerly waiting for your contribution!

And we follow with nice works on how reactive intermediates from Nox1 NADPH oxidas/e are regulated by protein disulfide isomerase. And the story goes on with a critical appraisal of the role of the proteasome main particle on physiological protein degradation. Works that explore the mechanistic vibe of Redoxoma. And from mechanisms to application as our main characteristic, we present the Innovation Corner with some advances in the I of RIDC (or Cepid).

Finally, more good news. We have significantly expanded the Newsletter diffusion range and hope the newcomers will enjoy staying with us.
