Characterization of a Thioredoxin-1 Gene from Taenia solium and Its Encoding Product

Figure 5

(a) Thioredoxin-catalyzed reduction of insulin. The increase in turbidity at 650 nm is plotted against the 1, 10, and 20 μg of E. coli rTrx (dark bars) and 5, 10, and 20 μg of Taenia solium thioredoxin-1 (rTsTrx-1, grey bars). (C−) Control lacking rTsTrx-1. (b) The pH enzymatic stability was determined incubating 20 μg of rTsTrx-1 at different pH between 3 and 10. The residual activity was measured as before.
