  1. The calculated MW in Da is determined from the amino acid sequence and includes the His6-tag incorporated into our constructs. The expected monomer MW is determined from the calculated monomer MW and subtracts the known E. coli post translational modification, namely clipping of the N-terminal Met (-131.19) of the His6-tag [26]. The expected MW of the oxidized dimer is calculated by doubling the expected MW weight of the monomer (clipping of the N-terminal Met accounted for) and subtracting 4 H (-4.04). aThe MW of the purified monomeric Pf Trx-Px-1 is off by 28 Da (and the dimer is off by twice this) which may be accounted for by one of the following: addition of ethyl addition, N, N-dimethylation of Arg or Lys, 2,4 bis-Trp-6,7-dione formation, or addition of formaldehyde (CHO)
