    Proteins with multiple cysteine residues often require disulfide isomerization reactions before they attain their correct conformation. In prokaryotes this reaction is catalyzed mainly by DsbC, a protein that shares many similarities in structure and mechanism to the eukaryotic protein disulfide isomerase. This review discusses the current knowledge about disulfide isomerization in prokaryotes.
