Investigation of the Microbial Glyoxalase System
The Glyoxalase system is composed of two metalloenzymes, Glyoxalase I and Glyoxalase II, that catalyze the conversion of toxic, metabolically produced alpha-ketoaldehydes, such as methyglyoxal, in the presence of a thiol cofactor, such as glutathione, into their corresponding nontoxic 2-hydroxycarbo...
