An investigation of the physicochemical properties of both glutathione peroxidase I and its complexes with polyelectrolytes as promising agents for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system

Abstract

A study of the kinetics of the thermal inactivation of glutathione peroxidase I was carried out. Glutathione peroxidase is an enzyme that plays a key role in the antioxidant protection system of the body. It was shown that oligomeric glutathione peroxidase I is inactivated by a monomolecular mechanism (37°C, pH 7.0, the enzyme concentrations 0.3 and 1 mg/mL). An effective method for stabilizing the enzyme by polyelectrolytes of different natures was proposed.
