Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxins (Trx) are a ubiquitous family of proteins that modulate the enzymatic activity of their substrate proteins by redox regulation. This is achieved by reduction of a disulfide bond within their target proteins. A conserved pair of cysteine residues in Trx is required for catalysis of the dithiol-disulfide exchange with their target proteins. A single-cysteine mutant capable of forming a stable mixed...
