Thiol oxidation by hypochlorous acid and chloramines is a favorable reaction and may be responsible for alterations in regulatory… Expand

N-Chlorotaurine (taurine chloramine), formed by treating taurine with hypochlorous acid, was shown to decompose to… Expand

Taurine (Tau) is an exceptionally abundant free amino acid in the cytosol of inflammatory cells and especially in neutrophils… Expand

The migration of neutrophils through the endothelium at sites of inflammation may be facilitated by oxidant-mediated disruption… Expand
