Proteins disulfide bonds

The extrusion process frequently results in realignment of disulfide bonds and breakage of intramolecular bonds. Disulfide bonds stabilize the tertiary structure of protein and may limit protein imfolding during extrusion (Taylor et al., 2006). Flow and melt characteristics were improved when other proteins were extruded with disulfide reducing agents (Areas, 1992), which indicates that disulfide bonds adversely affect... 

Fournier and DePristo96 calculated bond energies in several small compounds containing disulfide bonds which are known to stabilize the tertiary structure of proteins. Bond dissociation energies are generally overestimated when LDA(SVWN) is used whereas the PW86/P86 functional brings them to within 5 kcal/mol of experimental values. 

The Osborne classification, which dates from 1907, was updated at a symposium on gluten in 1996. Gianibelli el al. point out that at least 1300 peptides can be obtained from wheat endosperm proteins after disulfide bond rupture using two-dimensional fractionation.6... 

Finally, special mention must be made of Cys, which, when present alone, can be considered to belong to the polar uncharged group described above. It can, however, when correctly positioned within the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of a protein, form disulfide bridges with another Cys residue (Figure 4.2). These are the only covalent bonds, apart from the peptide bond of course, that we usually find in proteins2. 

Cysteine disulfide formation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications involved in protein structure. Disulfides play a crucial role in maintaining the structure of many proteins including insulin, keratin, and many other structurally important proteins. While the cytoplasm and nucleus are reducing microenvironments, the Golgi and other organelles can have oxidizing environments and process proteins to contain disulfide bonds (Scheme 5). 

Cysteine contains sulfur and can form disulfide bonds to stabilize the shape (tertiary structure) of proteins. Destroying disulfide bonds denatures proteins. 

Disulfide bond formation was introduced into DCC as a powerful reaction for the construction of dynamic systems in the late 1990s in separate reports from the groups of Still [19], Sanders [20], and Lehn [21]. Given the fundamental role played by thiol oxidation in biology, it is no surprise that the reaction is highly compatible with protein targets. Disulfide exchange... 

Spectra, but, in general, leaves the copper site the most exposed of the four cupredoxins. The sequence of Cbp is quite similar to that of stella-cyanin. Stellacyanin is a plant protein, also of unknown function, having visible spectra characteristic of type I copper, but lacking the methionine ligand found in all other type I proteins. A disulfide bond has been suggested as a potential copper ligand in stellacyanin the Cbp has both a methionine and the disulfide, so that prior to the structure determina-...

Although all proteins are complex in structure and chiral in nature, some of them could achieve the status of a chiral selector in liquid chromatography. The complex structures of proteins are the result of the different intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, disulfide bridges, and other types of bonding. All of the proteins used for chiral resolution in liquid chromatography are obtained from animals except for cellobiohydrolase-I. The structures and properties of some of the most commonly used proteins as chiral selectors are discussed herein. 

The chemical nature of amino acids mainly dictates the contacts between them in protein stmctures in terms of hydrophobic, electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, disulfide bonds, and van der Waals inferacfions, which are key determinanfs for fhe sfructure.
