Abstract

Glutathione has long been suspected to be the primary low molecular weight compound present in all cells promoting the oxidative protein folding, but twenty years ago it was found "not guilty". Now, new surprising evidence repeats its request to be the "smoking gun" which reopens the criminal trial revealing the crucial involvement of this tripeptide.
