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.
In eukaryotic cells—found in animals, plants, and fungi—protein synthesis involves more than the simple assembly of amino acids in ribosomes. Nearly ...
