Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: [protein]-dithol + ROOH = [protein]-disulfide + H2O + ROH. Source: RHEA:10008
Comment
Includes redox chemistry as part of the catalytic reaction (2 R'-SH = R'-S-S-R'), where R' refers to peroxiredoxin itself). Not to be confused with GO:0004601 (peroxidase activity, EC:1.11.1.7), which has a different reaction mechanism.
