Protein sensors and reactive oxygen species. Part A, Selenoproteins and thioredoxin [electronic resource] / edited by Helmut Sies, Lester Packer.

This volume of Methods in Enzymology is concerned with the rapidly developing field of selenoprotein synthesis and its related molecular genetics. Progressive information on the topics of proteins as redox sensors, selenoproteins, and the thioredoxin system is studied using methods such as bioinform...
