reaction was calculated from the calibration plot for the standard

either of linear or of sigmoidal curve fitting.
This data includes NMR and mass spectra, plots, mechanistic

4.4. GPx-like activity: GSHeGSSG coupled assay
The GPx-like activity was followed spectrophotometrically. The
test mixture contained GSH (2.0 mM), EDTA (1 mM), glutathione
disulfide reductase (1.7 units/ml), and NADPH (0.4 mM) in 0.1 M

potassium phosphate buffer of pH 7.5. GPx samples (80 mM) were
added to the test mixture at 23 ꢁC temperature and the reaction was
started by the addition of peroxide (1.6 mM). The initial reduction
rates were calculated from the rate of NADPH oxidation at 340 nm
in GSH assay. Each initial rate was measured at least three times
and calculated from the first 5e10% of the reaction by using
6.22 mMꢂ1 cmꢂ1 as the molar extinction coefficient for NADPH. For
the peroxidase activity, the rates were corrected for background
reaction between peroxide and thiol.

SMART software package.22 Single crystals were mounted at room
temperature on the ends of glass fibers, and data were collected at
room temperature. The structures were solved by direct methods
and refined using the SHELXTL software package.23 All non-
hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically and hydrogen atoms
were assigned idealized locations. Empirical absorption corrections
were applied to all structures using SADABS.24 The structures were
solved by direct method (SIR-92) and refined by full-matrix least-
squares procedure on F2 for all reflections (SHELXL-97).25

All calculations were performed by use of the Gaussian98
suite26 of quantum chemical programs. The hybrid Becke 3-Lee-
eYangeParr (B3LYP) exchange correlation functional was applied
for DFT calculations.27 Geometries were fully optimized at the
B3LYP level of theory with use of the 6-31þG(d) basis sets. Orbital
interactions were analyzed by the natural bond orbital (NBO)
method at the B3LYP/6-311þG(d,p) level, and charges were calcu-
lated by natural population analysis (NPA).28
