High Resolution Capillary Zone and Gel Electrophoresis of Structurally Similar Amphipatic Glutathione Conjugates Based on Interaction with β-Cyclodextrins
The tripeptide glutathione is a prominent intracellular constituent that provides protection against genotoxic and carcinogenic electrophiles and is also a component of several biological signal substances. Glutathione conjugates, free glutathione, and glutathione disulfide contain charged amino acid residues, which contribute to solubility in aqueous media.However , the amphipathic nature of glut
