Rheostat Re-Wired: Alternative Hypotheses for the Control of Thioredoxin Reduction Potentials

Thioredoxins are small soluble proteins that contain a redox-active disulfide (CXXC). These disulfides are tuned to oxidizing or reducing potentials depending on the function of the thioredoxin within the cell. The mechanism by which the potential is tuned has been controversial, with two main hypot...
