Question
Chapter 6, Problem 37CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the researchers have observed a correlation between the level of heat shock proteins and the ratio of oxidized to reduce glutathione in cells subjected to the oxidative stress.
Concept introduction: Proteins are made up of one or more amino acids linked together to form a chain. The building blocks of the protein are called amino acids. The imbalance between the reactive oxygen production and the biological system’s ability to detoxify these reactive intermediates results in damage that is called oxidative stress.
