[[Peroxiredoxin]] (Prx) is an antioxidant enzyme.  In the Prxs the active-site Cys is oxidized to sulfenic acid byperoxide.  The Prxs are divided into typical 2-Cys Prx, atypical 2-Cys Prx and 1-Cys Prx. Prx 5 is expressed in mammalian tissue. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Prx, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of Peroxiredoxin from rat ([[1qq2]]).
