Frizzell, PhD, Norma
Associate Professor
Our laboratory is interested in a recently discovered post-translational modification of proteins known as S-(2-succino)cysteine (2SC), also termed protein succination. Protein succination occurs when fumarate (from the Krebs cycle) reacts with cysteines to form the irreversible modification 2SC. While we have studied this modification extensively in the adipocyte during diabetes, we are also interested in other conditions which lead to increased fumarate.
