Abstract

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is not only an isomerase catalyzing the formation of native disulfide bond(s) of nascent peptide, but also a molecular chaperone assisting chain folding. We have already reported the structure of a cDNA (bPDl) encoding PDI from Bombyx mori and the function of PDI as foldase in assisting protein folding. (omitted)
