Function

Protein disulfide oxidoreductase (PDOR) catalyzes disulfide bond formation in proteins and is critically important in protein folding. In bacteria PDOR are known as DsbA and DsbB. PDOR catalyze dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions, i.e., conversion of RSSR and R’SH to R’SSR’ and RSH[1].

Structural highlights

PDOR DsnA contains the in the active site. The 2 cysteines can undergo reversible oxidation-reduction in the catalytic process[2].
