Báo cáo Y học: Isolation and characterization of a thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

All living organisms contain redox systems involving thior-edoxins (Trx), proteins featuringanextremelyconservedand reactive active site that perform thiol-disul®de interchanges with disul®de bridges of target proteins. In photosynthetic organisms, numerous isoforms of Trx coexist, as revealedby sequencing ofArabidopsisgenome. The speci®c functions of many of them are still unknown.
