      hi all, no idea where to post this> but has any one ever heard of a protein that increases its chaperone activity following reduction with 5mM DTT?
      thanks

      Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by a gene and encoded in the genetic code. Although this genetic code specifies 20 "standard" amino acids plus selenocysteine and – in certain archaea – pyrrolysine, the residues in a protein are sometimes chemically altered in post-translational modification.
