  15. Reactivity switch is present in all S-S constructs

  16. High mechanical forces cause a shift in the ground state of the disulfide bond F χ = 180° χ = 84.9° F

  17. Probing the chemistry of thioredoxin catalysis with force Chemistry: SN2 attack of thiolate anion on disulfide Arne Holmgren ; Eur. J. Biochem, 1968, 6:475-484 Arne Holmgren et al; PNAS, 1975, 72:2305–2309

  18. cantilever tip polyprotein Trx exposed disulfide bond 10 nm gold substrate

  19. Identifying disulfide reduction by single Trx enzymes Trx= 0 Trx= 8mM

  20. The rate of reduction is both force and [Trx] dependent [Trx]= 8 mM F= 100 pN

  21. Trx catalysis has a bimodal force dependency • two pathways for Trx reduction (I & II) k01 = k01(0) [Trx] k12 = k12(0) exp(FΔx/kBT)) k02 = k02(0) [Trx] exp(FΔx/kBT))

  22. 35 C 25 C 15 C

  23. Nucleophilic attacks are directional Reorientation of the stretched bond is required to have all three S atoms in a line

  24. Rotation of the substrate bond is probabilistic Pmd()

  25. The P34H groove mutation • reduced k01 unchangedΔx12 and Δx02

  26. Human and E coli thioredoxinsare distinguished by path II The sequence identity between E. coli Trx and Human Trx is 25%

  27. Three distinct chemical mechanisms of reduction

  28. ~15 nm ~11 nm
