Abstract excerpt
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a foldase of the endoplasmic recticulum, is a multifunctional protein that catalyzes the formation and isomerization of disulfide bonds during protein folding. The wild-type protein contains two redox active thiol/disulfide sites near the N and C terminus that are homologous to the redox center of thioredoxin. Using site-directed mutagenesis, both cysteines of each of the...
