Disulfide bridges are a common mechanism used in nature to stabilize many proteins. Such disulfide bridges are often found among extracellular proteins that are secreted from cells. In eukaryotic organisms, formation of disulfide bridges occurs within the organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum.
Problems:
What is the overall folding of one protein subunit called?
A) Quaternary structure
B) Secondary structure
C) Tertiary structure
D) Primary structure
Formation of a disulfide bond is what type of reaction?
A) Glycosylation
B) SN1
C) Oxidation
D) Reduction
