The enzymatic activity of thioredoxin reductase enzymes is endowed by at least two redox centers: a flavin and a dithiol/disulfide CXXC motif. The interaction between thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin is generally species-specific, but the molecular aspects related to this phenomenon

The reaction of [Ru(III)(cyclam)Cl(2)]Cl with 2 equiv of sodium N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate in methanol afforded [Ru(II)(cyclam)(Et(2)dtc)](BPh(4)) (1(BPh(4))). The same reaction with only 1 equiv of toluene-3,4-dithiol and a base yielded [Ru(cyclam)(tdt)](PF(6)) (2(PF(6))) which was oxidized by 1 equiv of ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate generating
