Abstract

Se-containing glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is one of the key enzymes of the body’s antioxidant system. The kinetic characteristics of GSH-Px (substrate is tert-butyl hydroperoxide) after modification of the enzyme by various concentrations of natural dicarbonyls (glyoxal, methylglyoxal, malonic dialdehyde) were studied. It was shown that dicarbonyls affected both Km and Vmax for GSH-Px. It is suggested that the effect of various dicarbonyls on GSH-Px depends on the molecular mechanisms of their interaction with the amino acid residues of the enzyme.
