Herein, we present the first, to our knowledge, computational investigation of the kinetic mechanism of 17β-HSD1, one of the thirteen 17β-HSDs belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR), a large superfamily of NAD (P) H-dependent enzymes.

This combination of abundant cytochromes with weak sequence conservation suggests they may not be specific terminal reductases, but rather may be important in their heme-bearing capacity, as sinks for electrons between the inner-membrane electron transport chain and the extracellular acceptor.

However, an impairment of methionine sulfoxide reductases surveillance function, as on ageing, would allowed the accumulation of oxidized proteins, as the aberrantly folded PrP

Consequently an optimal function of methionine sulfoxide reductases would be required not only for repairing damaged proteins but also for engaging in a cycle of methionine oxidation and reduction that ultimately would results in the scavenging of reactive oxygen species.
