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...

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, |
