“…Moreover cells contain thioredoxin reductases that catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of oxidized thioredoxin [Th(SS)] back to Th(SH) 2 (reaction 3). Accordingly the coupling of reactions (1), (2), and (3) is described by reaction (4), and coupling provides a biological mechanism Garrison, 1987;Swallow, 1960;Brodie and Reed, 1990;Takahashi and Goto, 1990;Zhou and Gafni, 1991 Garrison et al, 1962;Pryor et al, 1994;Vogt, 1995;, 1998 Phenylalanine 2-, 3-, and 4-Hydroxyphenylalanine; 2,3-dihydroxyphenylalanine Fletcher and Okada, 1961;Solar, 1985;Maskos et al, 1992a, b;Beckman et al, 1992;Gieseg et al, 1993 Proline Glutamylsemialdehyde; 2-pyrrolidone, 4-and 5-OH-proline; pyroglutamic acid Creeth et al, 1983;Poston, 1988;Amici et al, 1989;Uchida et al, 1990;Kato et al, 1992 Tryptophan 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-Hydroxytryptophan; formylkynurenine; 3-OH-kynurenine; nitrotryptophan Armstrong and Swallow, 1969;Winchester and Lynn, 1970;Maskos et al, 1992a;Guptasarma et al, 1992;Pryor and Uppu, 1993;Kikugawa et al, 1994 Tyrosine 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine; tyr-tyr cross-links; 3-nitrotyrosine; 3-chlorotyrosine; 3,5-dichlorotyrosine Fletcher and Okada, 1961;Maskos et al, 1992a;Beckman et al, 1992;Giulivi and Davies, 1993;Heinecke et al, 1993;Dean et al, 1993;Huggins et al, 1993, van der Vliet et al, 1995…”
