Residual Dipolar Couplings for Resolving Cysteine Bridges in Disulfide-Rich Peptides

Disulfide bridges in proteins are formed by the oxidation of pairs of cysteine residues. These cross-links play a critical role in stabilizing the 3D-structure of small disulfide rich polypeptides such as hormones and venom toxins. The arrangement of the multiple disulfide bonds directs the peptide...
