Nature of respiratory stimulation in hyperthyroidism: the redox behaviour of cytochrome c.

abstract：:Currently described substrates of the bacterial Tat protein transport system are directed for export by signal peptides containing a pair of invariant arginine residues. The signal peptide of the TtrB subunit of Salmonella enterica tetrathionate reductase contains a single arginine residue but is nevertheless able to ...
