The name's bond……disulfide bond [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2007 A repeating theme in the structural biology of disulfide oxidants and isomerases is the extraordinary architectural similarity between functionally related proteins from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The recently determined structure of full-length yeast protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) reveals a U-shaped molecule with two redox-active sites. It bears a
