Abstract excerpt
Disulfide bonds are crucial for many structural and functional aspects of proteins. They have a stabilizing role during folding, can regulate enzymatic activity and can trigger allosteric changes in the protein structure. Moreover, knowledge of the topology of the disulfide connectivity can be relevant in genomic annotation tasks and can provide long range constraints for ab-initio protein structure predictors....
