Abstract excerpt
Cellular glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is an important antioxidant selenoenzyme. Due to the presence of selenocysteine (Sec) encoded by UGA, normally recognized as a stop codon, the expression of mammalian GPx with traditional recombinant DNA technology is extremely difficult. In this study, a series of human GPx1 (hGPx1) mutants with significantly high catalytic activities were produced for the first time in...
