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

Figure 6

Effect of temperature on T. solium thioredoxin-1 (rTsTrx-1) activity. (a) rTsTrx-1 was incubated for 1, 3, and 24 hours at 15°C, 25°C, 37°C, 55°C, 70°C, and 100°C. (C−) Control lacking rTsTrx-1. (b) rTsTrx-1 was incubated during 3 to 28 days at 25°C, 15°C, 4°C, −20°C, and −70°C. (C+) Control of enzymatic activity was performed with a freshly made rTsTrx-1. Residual activity was determined by reduction of insulin assay.
