Abstract excerpt
Disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes is catalyzed by the ubiquitously expressed enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The effectiveness of PDI as a catalyst of native disulfide bond formation in folding polypeptides depends on the ability to catalyze disulfide-dithiol exchange, to bind non-native proteins, and to trigger conformational changes in the bound substrate, allowing...
