Tuning of thioredoxin redox properties by intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

Thioredoxin-like proteins contain a characteristic C-x-x-C active site motif and are involved in a large number of biological processes ranging from electron transfer, cellular redox level maintenance, and regulation of cellular processes. The mechanism for deprotonation of the buried C-terminal act...
