1. Folding and Structure of Azurin - The Influence of a Metal
Abstract : The structural role of the metal in the protein azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been a long standing question. Azurin belongs to the cupredoxin family and is a 128 residue beta-barrel protein of greek-key topology. READ MORE

2. Membrane-bound thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis
Abstract : Disulfide bonds in proteins are found between cysteine residues and are usually important for either function or stability of proteins. Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases catalyse the formation or breakage of disulfide bonds in proteins. READ MORE

3. Studies on Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis
Abstract : Bacillus subtilis is a model organism for endospore-forming gram-positive bacteria. Endospores are formed in response to nutrient starvation. They can resist harsh environments and last for long periods of time. Once nutrients again become available, the endospore can germinate and the vegetative life cycle be resumed. READ MORE

4. Protein disulfide isomerase : function and mechanism in oxidative protein folding
Abstract : The formation of native intramolecular disulfide bonds is critical for the folding and stability of many secreted proteins. This process involves oxidation of protein thiols to form disulfide bonds as well as rearrangement of any non-native disulfide bonds that might form. READ MORE

5. Production and folding of proteins in the periplasm of Escherichia coli
Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium E. coli is the most widely used host for the production of recombinant proteins. Disulfide bond containing recombinant proteins are usually produced in the periplasm of E. coli since in this compartment of the cell - in contrast to the cytoplasm - disulfide bond formation is promoted.
