Abstract excerpt
Glutaredoxin (Grx) and protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) are members of the thioredoxin superfamily of thiol/disulfide exchange catalysts. Thermodynamically, rat PDI is a 600-fold better oxidizing agent than Grx1 from Escherichia coli. Despite that, Grx1 is a surprisingly good protein oxidase. It catalyzes protein disulfide formation in a redox buffer with an initial velocity that is 30-fold faster than PDI....
