From a chemical perspective, splitting disulphide bonds under tensile stress is a substantially more complicated process than previously assumed. A team headed by Prof Dr Dominik Marx from ...

Disulphide bonds play a critical role in stabilising the three‐dimensional structures of proteins and ensuring their correct function. Their precise mapping is essential not only for understanding ...

THE permanent set which strained wool fibres acquire in steam or boiling water is due to breakdown of disulphide bonds ; this promotes dissipation of stress, followed by linkage rebuilding, which ...
