| Abstract | The selenite-induced glutathione peroxidase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been purified about 323-fold with a 10% yield, as judged by PAGE. The native enzyme had an Mr of 67,000 and was composed of four identical subunits of Mr 17,000. Glutathione was the only electron donor, giving a specific activity of 193.6 mumol/min per mg of protein. L-Ascorbate, NADH, NADPH, pyrogallol, guaiacol and o-dianisidine did not donate electrons to the enzyme. In addition to H2O2, organic hydroperoxides were reduced by the enzyme. The Km values for glutathione and H2O2 were 3.7 mM and 0.24 mM respectively. The enzyme reaction proceeded by a Ping Pong Bi Bi mechanism. Cyanide and azide had no effect on the activity. The enzyme contained approx. 3.5 atoms of selenium per mol of protein. On immunoprecipitation, Chlamydomonas glutathione peroxidase was precipitated and its activity was inhibited about 90% by the antibody raised against bovine erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase. The antibody also cross-reacted with the subunits of Chlamydomonas glutathione peroxidase in Western blotting SDS/PAGE. In terms of enzymic, physico-chemical and immunological properties, the experimental results demonstrate clearly that Chlamydomonas glutathione peroxidase resembles other well-characterized glutathione peroxidases from animal sources that contain selenium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
