Example sentences for: disulfide
How can you use “disulfide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
OxyR contains two critical cysteines that are oxidized to form an intramolecular disulfide bond when cells encounter peroxide stress (Zheng et al.
The first group contains short toxins (30-40 amino acid residues) with 3-4 disulfide bridges which mainly affect the voltage dependent K +channels and the large conductance calcium activated K +channels [ 5 6 ] . The second group includes long-chain (60-70 amino acids) peptides cross linked by 4 disulfide bridges which mainly have an effect on voltage dependent sodium channels of excitable cells [ 1 2 ] . According to their species selectivity sodium channel toxins have been divided into mammalian and insect toxins.
Given the reversibility of thiol oxidations and the wide range of structural constraints that can be imposed by the formation of a sulfenic or sulfinic acid or a disulfide bond, we predict there will be many more examples of regulation by thiol modification.
Once the stress is removed, the mixed disulfide bond will be readily reduced, and access to the substrate restored.
4) which is in agreement with the molecular mass calculated from the amino acid sequence when the toxin is in its native form with four disulfide bridges as observed in other similar toxins.
