abstract：:It was previously shown that rhodanese, inactivated with hydrogen peroxide, could only be reactivated in the presence of a reductant or the substrate thiosulfate if these reagents were added soon after inactivation and if the oxidant was removed. Here, we report on the facilitated reactivation (75%) of hydrogen peroxi...
