Thioredoxin is a small (M, 12 000) protein con- taining an oxidation-reduction active cystine disulfide bridge [ 11, that has been ascribed several functions. The reduced form, thioredoxin-(SH)z, generated by NADPH and thioredoxin reductase, was the first isolated, in vitro hydrogen donor of ribonucleotide reductase [2].
