Studies on the Reduction and Re-formation of Protein Disulfide Bonds

Open access
Anfinsen, Christian B., Haber, Edgar·1961·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

The information contained in the amino acid sequence of a protein is linear, such as it is in DNA, but proteins function by virtue of the arrangement of their linear structure into a well-defined three-dimensional conformation. In this article, Anfinsen and Haber sought to determine how the two-dimensional data of DNA were translated into the three-dimensional information that was characteristic of globular proteins. This simple and elegant experiment was designed to determine what would happen when reduced, unfolded, and enzymatically inactive ribonuclease was allowed simply to refold in the presence of only neutral aqueous buffer and air. They found that most of the activity of the enzyme was regained.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
