Formylglycine-generating sulfatase enzyme

In molecular biology, formylglycine-generating sulfatase enzyme is a protein domain which has a structure homologous to the complex alpha/beta topology found in sulfatase-modifying factors (SUMF1).

Circular dichroism

It can, for instance, be used to study how the secondary structure of a molecule changes as a function of temperature or of the concentration of denaturing agents, e.g. Guanidinium chloride or urea.
