Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin controls the intracellular redox potential through a disulfide/dithiol couple. Under conditions of oxidative stress, this protein functions via one-electron exchange, in which formation of the disulfide radical anion occurs. Combined quantum mechanical (QM) and molecular mechanical (M...
