| Abstract | Mutations were made in three highly conserved residues in Escherichia coli thioredoxin. An internal charged residue, Asp-26, was changed to an alanine. The mutant protein was more stable than the wild type. It can function as a substrate for thioredoxin reductase with a 10-fold increase in the Km over the wild type. Although the redox potential was not substantially changed from that of the wild type, thioredoxin D26A was a poor reducing agent for ribonucleotide reductase. Asp-26 apparently serves to maintain an optimal charge distribution in the active site region for interaction with other proteins. Mutation of a surface Pro-34 in the active site disulfide ring to a serine had little effect on protein stability. A slight decrease in the redox potential (9 mV) made thioredoxin P34S a better reducing agent for ribonucleotide reductase. In contrast, mutation of the internal cis Pro-76 to an alanine destabilized the protein. The data indicate a change had also occurred in the charge distribution in the active site region. Thioredoxin P76A had a higher redox potential than the wild type protein and was not an effective reducing agent for ribonucleotide reductase. It was concluded that this residue is essential for maintaining the conformation of the active site and the redox potential of thioredoxin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
