[20] [7] This conversion is illustrated by the reduction of peroxides (via the sulfenate as an intermediate): GSH + R 2 O 2 GSOR + ROH GSOR + GSH GSSG + ROH Net reaction: 2 GSH + R 2 O 2 GSSG + 2 ROH (R = H, alkyl) and with free radicals, forming glutathionyl radicals (GS ) that may dimerize to disulfide: GSH + R RH + GS 1/2 GSSG Thiyl radicals (such as glutathionyl radicals) are themselves oxidizing species in biology, with a single-electron reduction potential sufficient for oxidation of nucleic acids, proteins and polyunsaturated lipids

In the second step, the homodimeric enzyme GS, a member of the ATP-grasp superfamily, rapidly catalyzes the binding of -glutamylcysteine with glycine, obtaining GSH (8, 9)
Can IV Therapy be combined with other treatments
