Mechanistic insights into Escherichia coli Alkyl hydroperoxide subunit C (AhpC) and the molecular switch for peroxide robustness

Typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are mainly involved in antioxidant defense and the signal transduction pathway of H2O2 by undergoing inactivation once intracellular H2O2 concentrations exceed the threshold. This inactivation mechanism is only present in eukaryotes. In order to glean molecular in...
