Abstract excerpt
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) is a key multi-domain protein folding catalyst in the endoplasmic reticulum. The b' domain of PDI is essential for the non-covalent binding of incompletely folded protein substrates. Earlier, we defined the substrate binding site in the b' domain of human PDI by modelling and mutagenesis studies. Here, we show by fluorescence and NMR that recombinant human PDI b'x (comprising...
