  Research interests  
   
 
1. The thiolic redox proteome of a cell is a set of proteins with particular cysteine residue(s) prone to oxidation by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) in a reversible manner. Such a modification can serve two objectives: to protect the proteins from further lethal irreversible oxidation and to regulate the functionality of the affected proteins. The reversibility of the modification is dependent on the so called “redoxins”, a group proteins, among which Glutaredoxins interact with the universal reductant glutathione.
   
  The research line supervised by Dra. Alicia Padilla studies the molecular and functional properties of redoxins in the yeast S. cerevisiae as a model organism with the construction of site directed mutants followed by biochemical, molecular and physiological analysis
   
  Dr. McDonagh develops second generation and quantitative proteomics methods for the identification of proteins that make up the redox proteome together with a precise definition of the modified Cys residue(s) and quantitation of the modification extent.
   
  Dr. González Ojeda extrapolates this experimental approach to cultures human cell lines affected in their nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and to immunosuppressed mice in the context of cell proliferation and tumor development.
   
  2. The line under the supervision of Dr. Rodríguez Ortega applies a proteomics approach to study the surface proteins in pathogen microorganisms as candidates for the development of vaccines and diagnostic tools. The study extends to the human pathogens Streptococcus. pneumoniae and Staphilococcus aureus and the porcine epizootic pathogen Streptococcus suis.
   
  3. Dr. Peinado is involved in the determination of the antioxidant capacity of natural products from local varieties of wines and grapevine.
