Redox Properties of Protein Disulfide Bond in Oxidized Thioredoxin and Lysozyme:  A Pulse Radiolysis Study

We have studied the one-electron reduction of oxidized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thioredoxin and compared it to that of hen egg white lysozyme, using CO2 •  - free radicals as reductants. This comparison shows that the thioredoxin disulfide/thiol redox couple has different properties than that of ly...

Description
Summary:We have studied the one-electron reduction of oxidized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thioredoxin and compared it to that of hen egg white lysozyme, using CO2 •  - free radicals as reductants. This comparison shows that the thioredoxin disulfide/thiol redox couple has different properties than that of lysozyme:  the disulfide radical pK a is much lower (around 5 for small disulfides, 4.62 for lysozyme,
