Selective Loss of Cysteine Residues and Disulphide Bonds in a Potato Proteinase Inhibitor II Family
Disulphide bonds between cysteine residues in proteins play a key role in protein folding, stability, and function. Loss of a disulphide bond is often associated with functional differentiation of the protein. The evolution of disulphide bonds is still actively debated; analysis of naturally occurri...
