Abstract excerpt
Trypanothione reductase is a member of the structurally and functionally well-characterized family of flavoprotein reductases, which catalyze the reduced pyridine nucleotide dependent reduction of their disulfide, peroxide, or metal ion substrates. Trypanothione reductase is found in a wide variety of Trypanosoma species, where the enzyme serves physiologically to protect the organism from oxidative stress and...
