In this issue of Structure, Skeens et al. provide insights into the structure and dynamics of an oxidized form of the atypical cytokine macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MIF). The study unveils a surprising conformational susceptibility of MIF to ambient redox alterations and identifies redox-sensitive residues and latent allostery sites with functional relevance.
