Researchers at the Center for Research on Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxome) in Brazil have identified extracellular matrix proteins modified by the action of hypobromous acid in normal and fibrotic lung tissues, suggesting a possible physiological role for protein bromination.
Proteins modified in lungs offer clues to biological functions of bromine retrieved 22 May 2024 from https://phys.org/news/2024-05-proteins-lungs-clues-biological-functions.html
