Abstract excerpt
Protein disulfide bond formation in the bacterial periplasm is catalyzed by the Dsb enzymes in conjunction with the respiratory quinone components. Here we characterized redox properties of the redox active sites in DsbB to gain further insights into the catalytic mechanisms of DsbA oxidation. The standard redox potential of DsbB was determined to be -0.21 V for Cys41/Cys44 in the N-terminal periplasmic region...
