PDI catalyzes the formation, rearrangement, and breakage of disulfide bonds, oxidative refolding by PDI almost completely restores lysozyme activity, overview
PDI is a major protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, operating as an essential folding catalyst and molecular chaperone for disulfide-containing proteins by catalyzing the formation, rearrangement, and breakage of their disulfide bridges

the enzyme has a modular structure with four thioredoxin-like domains, a, b, b', and a', along with a C-terminal extension. The homologous a and a' domains contain one cysteine pair in their active site directly involved in thiol-disulfide exchange reactions, while the b' domain putatively provides a primary binding site for unstructured regions of the substrate polypeptides, mechanistic model of PDI action, overview. The a' domain transfers its own disulfide bond into the unfolded protein accommodated on the hydrophobic surface of the substrate-binding region, which consequently changes into a closed form releasing the oxidized substrate, domain arrangements and redox behaviour, overview
