The Thioredoxin Superfamily: Redundancy, Specificity, and Gray-Area Genomics

Issues of thiol-disulfide redox chemistry were nowhere in our consciousness when we began to study the export of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase from the cytoplasm. We chose this periplasmic enzyme because it seemed an excellent tool for characterizing the mechanism of protein translocation
