Rhodanese Rdl2 produces reactive sulfur species to scavenge hydroxyl radical and protect mitochondria
2021-07-19
Abstract excerpt
During aerobic respiration, mitochondria generate superoxide anion (O 2 •− ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and hydroxyl radical (HO • ), and these reactive oxygen species (ROS) are detrimental to mitochondria. Mitochondrial damage is linked to a broad spectrum of pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease, hemochromatosis, and diabetes. Mitochondria contain several enzymes for rapidly removing superoxide anion a...
