Identification of the target protein(s)
Peroxidase activity was measured as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The reaction was started either directly or after 40 min preincubation of the reaction mixture (complete, without either Px or Tpx) by adding the missing protein component immediately followed by H2O2. Values are the means ± S.D. of three assays. ND means not determined.

a The assay contained 10 μm of the respective inhibitor.
b The assay contained 20 μm of the respective inhibitor.
c The assay contained 40 μm of the respective inhibitor.
d The values refer to the activity calculated for the 1st min. In the presence of compound 2, NADPH oxidation declined rapidly during the course of the assay. This resulted after 3 min in 32% and 45% inactivation in the Px and Prx assay, respectively.
