Abstract

KRUUSMA, J.; BENHAM, A.M.; WILLIAMS, J.A.G.  and  KATAKY, R.. A brief overview about the proteins and the processes responsible for the formation of the nativ-folded thioproteins in the pro-and eukaryotic cells . Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2006, vol.24, n.2, pp.207-228. ISSN 0872-1904.

This review was erected to describe briefly proteins and processes responsible for the formation of the nativ-folded thioproteins in the pro- and eukaryotic cells. This issue has a significant importance due to many dieases and misfunctions caused by misfolded enzymes having low or inactive structure. This review contains also a short list of electrochemical methods for the detection and the quantification of the most important thioproteins.

Keywords : thiol proteins; electrochemistry; protein disulfide isomerase; eukaryotic cells.
