In this review article we examine the role of glutathione reductase in the regulation,
modulation and maintenance of cellular redox homoeostasis. Glutathione reductase is …

The authors were asked by the Editors of ACS Chemical Biology to write an article titled
“Why Nature Chose Selenium” for the occasion of the upcoming bicentennial of the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of normal cellular metabolic
activities. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase are the enzymes …

BACKGROUND: Glutathione-dependent catalysis is a metabolic adaptation to chemical
challenges encountered by all life forms. In the course of evolution, nature optimized …

Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, clilling, heavy metal are the major limiting factors
for crop productivity. These stresses induce the overproduction of reactive oxygen species …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known mediators of intracellular signaling cascades.
Excessive production of ROS may, however, lead to oxidative stress, loss of cell function …

BACKGROUND: Thioredoxin systems, involving redox active thioredoxins and thioredoxin
reductases, sustain a number of important thioredoxin-dependent pathways. These systems …

Abstract Thioredoxins (Trx) and glutaredoxins (Grx) constitute families of thiol
oxidoreductases. Our knowledge of Trx and Grx in plants has dramatically increased during …

We have identified 242 Anopheles gambiae genes from 18 gene families implicated in
innate immunity and have detected marked diversification relative to Drosophila …

The thioredoxin system plays a key role in regulating the overall intracellular redox balance.
It basically comprises the small redox protein thioredoxin (Trx), nicotinamide adenine …
