Disulfides dismutation

Finally, complete structure determination also requires that the positions of disulfide bridges — if there is more than one — be established. Partial hydrolysis can provide fragments with an intact disulfide bridge. In the process the possibility of disulfide dismutation... 

It has been formulated as the sum of two reactions— an anionic attack on the disulfide by OH followed by a dismutation of the unstable sulfenate and a removal of the mercaptide by heavy metal ion, i.e., for glutathione...
