Abstract excerpt
The active-site cysteines (Cys 32 and Cys 35) of Escherichia coli thioredoxin are oxidized to a disulfide bridge when the protein mediates substrate reduction. In reduced thioredoxin, Cys 32 and Cys 35 are characterized by abnormally low pKa values. A conserved side chain, Asp 26, which is steric...
