Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cytosolic thioredoxin reductase is a homodimer of 55 kDa subunit containing an essential penultimate selenocysteine residue. An active analogue of the rat enzyme in which cysteine replaces selenocysteine has been expressed in Escherichia coli cells at high levels and purified to homogeneity. The pure enzyme contains one FAD per subunit and shows spectral properties identical to that of the wild-type...
