Usage and Biology

By ligating these two different parts as a fusion protein, it is supposed to raise the solubility of our protein, F420-dependent glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (FGD).

This is a fusion protein made out of Thioredoxin and FGD. Both of them have different function. Thioredoxin can help the protein folding correctly, and produce the fusion proteins in soluble form that are biologically active. FGD could help the electron transferred from G6P(Glucose 6-phosphate) to the F420(It is a flavin derivative, and it plays like a coenzyme that could help the redox reactions in methanogens ,many Actinobacteria, especially in bacterial lineages.) Finally, the F420 would be reduced to F420H2,attaching two hydrogens and electron on it. This fusion protein will help us to convert electrons to reduce the compound via MSMEG5998.
