DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2208675120
Abstract: Significance Oxidative protein folding via disulfide bond formation is an important process in bacteria, although it can be dispensable in various organisms. In many gram-positive Actinobacteria, deletion of mdbA coding for the conserved thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase… read more here.
