Crystal structure of peroxiredoxin 3 from Vibrio vulnificus and its implications for scavenging peroxides and nitric oxide

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous cysteine-based peroxidase enzymes. Recently, a new type of Prx, VvPrx3, was identified in the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus as being important for survival in macrophages. It employs only one catalytic cysteine residue to decompose peroxides. Here, cryst...
