Abstract excerpt
A potential role in disulfide bond formation in the intracellular proteins of thermophilic organisms has recently been attributed to a new family of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-like proteins. Members of this family are characterized by a molecular mass of about 26kDa and by two Trx folds, each comprising a CXXC active site motif. We report on the functional and structural characterization of a new member of...
