Oxidative stress: Protein folding with a novel redox switch.
A novel cellular response to oxidative stress has been discovered, in which the activity of a molecular chaperone, Hsp33, is modulated by the environmental redox potential. This provides a rapid first defence mechanism against the potentially very harmful toxic effects of oxidative stress.
