Thioredoxins (Trxs) are ubiquitous, low-molecular-mass proteins that are characterized by the presence of an exposed active site with the amino acid sequence of WC(G/P)PC. Trxs participate in numerous redox processes via the reversible disulfide/dithiol reduction reaction involving active site cysteines. Plants have multiple isoforms of Trx as opposed to animals, bacteria, fungi. The multiple Trx isoforms in plants are 0in 0in 0pt -0.3pt" Key words: Thioredoxin, active site, site- directed mutagenesis, pH stability, dimerize
