Abstract excerpt
The quaternary structure of peroxiredoxin from Aeropyrum pernix K1 (ApPrx) is a decamer, in which five homodimers are assembled in a pentagonal ring through hydrophobic interactions. In this study, we determined the amino acid (AA) residues of ApPrx crucial for forming the decamer using AA mutations. The ApPrx0Cys mutant, wherein all cysteine residues were mutated to serine, was prepared as a model protein to...
