Disulfide bonds are crucial for the structural integrity and function of many proteins and peptides. These covalent linkages, formed between cysteine residues, help stabilize the three-dimensional ...
Disulfide bonds (RS-SR) are more stable than peroxide bonds (RO-OR), and biology has taken advantage of this stability by using disulfide bonds as structural features of proteins. Sulfur can adopt ...
A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo.
