We have done a comparative, computational structural analysis of the cysteine residues in two proteins from bacteria to get some insight into the differences between metal binding cysteine residues and those involved in structure stabilization. The two target proteins in this study are the periplasmic mercury binding protein （MerP） and the 1-1eucine binding protein （LBP）. Both are periplasmic binding proteins from E. coli. We have shown key phenomenon that define cysteines as metal binding or structural in nature.展开更多

Disulphide bridge was formed on solid phase with the irradiation of microwave, then the whole peptide was cleaved from the resin. The purity of crude peptide cyclized under microwave irradiation was higher than that under room temperature.展开更多
