Disulfide bond formation in bacteria and archaea

We are characterizing pathways for protein disulfide bond formation in bacteria and archaea; using protein disulfide bond formation pathways in bacteria as targets for potential antibiotics; and developing novel high-throughput screening procedures.

Keywords: Bacterial protein secretion / protein translocation / disulfide bond formation & protein folding / cytoplasmic thiol redox pathways

Subject area(s): Membranes & Transport | Microbiology, Virology & Pathogens | Proteins & Biochemistry
