Oxidation kinetics for roGFP2 WT -PfGrx fusion constructs The in vivo oxidation kinetics from fusion constructs between roGFP2 WT and a variety of glutaredoxins and mutants thereof were shown to correlate very well with the rate constants for the oxidative half-reaction from GSSCys assays in vitro, suggesting that the glutathionylation of the glutaredoxin and not the transfer of oxidation to the fused roGFP2 moiety was rate-limiting under the chosen conditions 15,34,35
The crystals can also be broken down in the body (see 7a below, re: Rasburicase, and 7b below, re: pegylated uricase)
The difference is approximately 8 percentage points, which translates to roughly 20 additional pounds lost for a 250-pound individual
