Sensitized Photolysis of Thioglycolic Acid in Aquatic Environment

Aggregation of α-crystallins in kynurenic acid-sensitized UVA photolysis under anaerobic conditions.

The reactions of photoexcited kynurenic acid (KNA) with bovine α-crystallins under anaerobic conditions proceed via the electron transfer from tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues to the triplet KNA molecules. The subsequent radical reactions lead to the protein aggregation and insolubilization. The absorption of the photolyzed proteins at 335 nm as well as their total fluorescence sign...

Effects of Thioglycolic Acid on Parthenogenetic Activation of Xenopus Oocytes

BACKGROUND Existing in Permanent-wave solutions (PWS), thioglycolic acid (TGA) is widely used in hairdressing industry for its contribution to hair styling. However, the toxicity of TGA, especially its reproductive toxicity, gradually calls the attention of more and more researchers. METHOD In this work, xenopus oocytes were pretreated with different concentration of TGA, and then activated b...

High-throughput determination of thioglycolic acid lignin from rice

For research and development of plants suitable for forage and biofuel production, the development of a highthroughput system of lignin determination, especially for herbaceous species, is important. However, currently available methods for lignin determination are not suitable for high-throughput analysis of herbaceous samples. In this paper, we describe a straightforward, high-throughput meth...

Novel treatment using thioglycolic acid for pincer nails.

The authors developed a novel treatment using thioglycolic acid (TGA) to chemically soften pincer nails. The objective was to describe a new treatment method for pincer nails by applying TGA to soften the nail and then fix it in the correct position. A total of 104 patients (nine men and 95 women; mean age, 56 years) with 106 pincer nails underwent our treatment. A small hole was made on the ma...
