Ab initio Structural Insights and Functional Analysis of Thioredoxin Glutathione Reductase from Schistosoma japonicum
Platyhelminth parasites are a major health problem in developing countries. Around the world Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern affecting billions of people. In Schistosoma japonicum and some other platyhelminths Thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR) enzymes have been identified as alternative drug targets a key enzyme in the pathway of the parasite for detoxification of reactive oxygen species. In Thioredoxin glutathione reductase a C-terminal redox center containing selenocysteine (Sec) is present TGR is a homodimeric enzyme comprising a gl... view moreĀ»
