Deskripsi
Cyclic five-membered disulfides (1,2-dithiolanes) have been reported either as nonspecific redox motifs, or as highly specific cellular probes for thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Here the authors show that 1,2-dithiolane probes are nonspecifically reduced by a range of thiol reductants and are not sensitive to TrxR modulation, thus they are unsuitable as cellular probes for TrxR.
