Crystal structure of the YffB protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa suggests a glutathione-dependent thiol reductase function Alexey Teplyakiv, Sadhana Pullalarevu, Galina Obmolova, Victoria Doseeva, Andrey Galkin, Osnat Herzberg, Miroslawa Daueter, Zbigniew Dauter, and Gary L Gilliland Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute and the National Institute of Standards and Technology BMC Structural Biology 2004, 4:5 PDB ID ： 1RW1

前言 The yffB ( PA 3664 ) gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes an uncharacterized protein of 13 kD molecular weight with a marginal sequence similarity to arsenate reductase from E. coli 。 The crystal structure determination of YffB was undertaken as part of a structural genomics effort in order to assist with the functional assignment of the protein 。

結果 The structure was determined at 1.0 Å resolution by single-wavelength anormalous diffraction 。 The fold is very similar to that arsenate reductase, which is an extension of the thioredoxin 。

所探討的生物問題 Yffb 蛋白和 arsenate reductase 在序列上的 相似性，但最後結果發現在功能上被認為是 glutathione-dependent thiol reductase

到期末要做的事 試著了解 yffb protein 、 arsenate reductase 、 glutathione-dependent thiol reductase 的差異 處和相似處 是否也有相似的其他案例 從現在到期末所學任何方法

可能得到的知識 對蛋白質進行基本的了解和解析 知道從何處找到關於蛋白質結構相關之網站

我嘗試做的一些分析 在 ExPASy Molecular Biology Server 進行序 列比對ExPASy Molecular Biology Server 在 NCBI 進行序列比對 在 EBI 比較之間的 conservation 最後利用 pdb 看他們的親源關傒

經過分析得到的結果 至少知道蛋白質基本結構組成 知道有哪些蛋白質結構的網站 未來也許會有可能做蛋白質分析
