Glyoxal refers to the reactive electrophilic species (RES) and is formed during different processes, e.g., lipid peroxidation, DNA oxidation. RES cause the damage of proteins and nucleotides and thus can cause different diseases in human, e.g., diabetes. Glyoxal reacting with free guanines in RNAs can be is used for chemical probing of RNA structure.
