In Tables 14, the main body of the enzyme is abbreviated as PfTR. The amino acid sequence of the C-terminal redox center is abbreviated with the one-letter amino acid codes representing the final seven C-terminal amino acids. Thus, the WT enzyme is abbreviated as PfTR-GC1GGGKC2G. Each of the mutants is denoted similarly with the mutant sequence of amino acids of the C-terminal redox center abbreviated with one-letter codes after the abbreviation PfTR.
