The action of glutathione reductase proceeds through a cyclic series of structures in differing redox states (Figure 1). NADPH binds causing a transient reduction of flavin and this reduced flavin consequently reduces Cys58-Cys63 disulfide bond, forming a short lived covalent intermediate with Cys63. Following this, a stable charge-transfer complex between flavin and the Cys63 thiolate forms. After formation the NADP+ dissociates and is replaced by another NADPH. This is the end of the reductive first half of the mechanism and the oxidative half is initiated upon the binding of GSSG. The Cys58 in glutathione reductase attacks CysI of the GSSG to form a mixed disulfide between the first GS and Cys58. The second GSH is the free to leave and the disulfide bond is reformed between Cys58 and Cys63 of glutathione reductase. Finally, the first molecule of GSH is released. The glutathione reductase is then able to be recycled to allow for the binding of NADPH once again. | The action of glutathione reductase proceeds through a cyclic series of structures in differing redox states (Figure 1).
