Abstract excerpt
We previously constructed plasmids for synthesis of glutathione-peroxidase (GPx) mutants in an Escherichia coli expression system. In these recombinant proteins either cysteine ([Cys]GPx mutant) or serine ([Ser]GPx mutant) were present in place of the active-site selenocysteine (SeCys) of the natural enzyme. We have now investigated GPx activity of [Cys]GPx and [Ser]GPx mutants. Enzyme assays performed on...
