Chaperone foldase activity of chloroplastic tobacco Trx f and Trx m. The Cys-free form of G6PDH (20 μM) was denatured in guanidine-HCl and subsequently refolded in a renaturation buffer in the presence of increasing concentrations of Trx f (closed circles) or Trx m (closed squares) as indicated. The refolding yield of G6PDH was determined by measuring G6PDH activity and expressed as a percentage of native G6PDH activity set to 100%. Reactions using analogous concentrations of BSA (crosses) instead of Trx were used as controls. Each value is the mean ±SE (bars) of three independent determinations.
