Description
Glutathione reductase enzyme is a homodimeric enzyme containing 1 FAD molecule and 1 NADPH binding domain per subunit., Both human GR (hGR) and Plasmodium falciparum GR (PfGR) are essential for the survival of the malaria parasite within the human erythrocyte. Thus, this enzyme may be used for studies of candidate anti-malaria reagents.
