“…Numerous CD-based GPx models have been designed via incorporating selenium/ tellurium functional groups on macrocyclic building blocks (Huang et al, 2011). By modification of CD and with ditelluride moiety, 2,2′-ditellurobis (2-deoxy-β-CD) showed excellent GPx-like activity in the presence of substrate thiols (Figure 1B) (Liu et al, 1998;Liu et al, 2000;Liu et al, 2002;Dong et al, 2004;McNaughton et al, 2004;Dong et al, 2006a;Dong et al, 2006b;Dong et al, 2007). When an aromatic substrate was used instead of natural substrate glutathione, the activity could be 200,000-fold more efficiently than the common GPx mimic PhSeSePh (Dong et al, 2004).…”
