The structure of the glutathione is

Explain the function of glutathione as a free radical scavenger in the cells.

A nonapeptide of molecular formula, $\mathrm{Arg},\mathrm{Gly},{\mathrm{Phe}}_2, \mathrm{Ser}, {\mathrm{Pro}}_3$, has arginine $\left(\mathrm{Arg}\right)$ residue on both ends. On partial hydrolysis, it gives the following peptides.
$\mathrm{Phe}. \mathrm{Ser} + \mathrm{Phe}. \mathrm{Arg} + \mathrm{Pro}. \mathrm{Pro}. + \mathrm{Arg}. \mathrm{Pro} + \mathrm{Pro}. \mathrm{Gly}. \mathrm{Phe} + \mathrm{Ser}. \mathrm{Pro}. \mathrm{Phe}$
