Disulfide bonds: Second kind of covalent bonds is possible between any cysteine (hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, van der Waals forces, and
Disulfide bonds should be reduced with mercaptoethanol both are stabilized by van der Waals interactions b) both are stabilized by extensive regions
25 sept 2017 · B van der Waals interactions C disulfide bonds between two Cys residues D ionic interactions E hydrophobic interactions
van der Waals forces act between all pairs of atoms and do not depend on charge • When two atoms are too close together, they repel strongly • When two atoms
Forces Influencing Protein Structure p Hydrophobicity/Hydrophilicity p H-bonding p Van der Waals/Dispersion Forces p Electrostatics p Disulfide Bridges
side chains and Van der Waals forces Covalant disulfide bonds can also provide stability in some proteins • The quaternary structure of a protein refers
that are embedded within a single polypeptide chain ?-strands associate interactions, (B) hydrogen bonds, and (C) van der Waals interactions
The appropriate distance required for Van der Waals attractions differs from atom to acid whose side chain can form covalent bonds, yielding disulfide
stabilization energy of a folded protein comes not from covalent bonds The two most important are the van der Waals interaction and the hydrogen bond
