Cysteine , one of 20 protein amino acids , has a –SH group in its side chain, and can easily be dimereized to cystine in aqueous solution by forming a disulfide bond. In many protein molecules, disulfide bonds between cysteine residues are essential for protein folding. Disulfide bonds in...
3.2.1.2Disulfide bonds [-S-S-] are formed between amino acids which contain thiol groups Cysteine which contains a thiol group (-SH), plays a great role in biological system [98]. The protons of the both SH groups are lost very easily in an oxidation reaction and remaining sulfur groups...
Furthermore, cysteines involved in disulfide bonds are the most evolutionarily-conserved amino acids (unlike free cysteine), and in 99% of cases these are only replaced as pairs1. Disulfides serve as (largely per- manent) molecular "staples" that direct and stabilize the three-dimensional ...
6A). This difference was recapitulated when we analyzed membrane proteins (0.95 ± 0.19 SEM disulfide bonds per 100 amino acids versus 0.58 ± 0.08 SEM, p = 0.04) (Fig. 6D). This difference suggests that there has been no selection pressure against disulfide bonds in hypoxia-induced proteins...

Disulfide Bonds and Protein Structure: Proteins have various levels of structural organization. Primary structure is the sequence of amino acids making up the protein. Secondary structure is whether the protein forms α-helices or β-sheet structures. The tertiary structure is how the combination of ...

摘要: SS-bond A disulfide bond is a covalent bond between two sulfur atoms (-S-S-) formed by the coupling of two thiol (-SH) groups. Cysteine, one of the 20 protein amino acids, has a thiol group in its... DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-27833-4_449-4 年份: 2014 收藏...
We found that weakly hydrophilic and aromatic amino acids are quite abundant in the regions around disulfide bonds, contrary to aliphatic and hydrophobic amino acids. The density distributions (as a function of the distance to the center of the disulfide bonds) for all defined entities presented ...
