About the Book The formation of disulfide bonds is probably the most influential modification of peptides and proteins with significant progress achieved in recent years, both concerning their in vivo situation and in vitro manipulation. This book is the first monograph covering this exciting and rapidly developing area with contributions from major experts in the field providing a comprehensive overview. The topics covered include the enzymes involved in the correct oxidative folding of cysteine-containing proteins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, their mimicking for successful in vitro folding of proteins, including synthetic replicates and important aspects concerning cysteine-rich peptides. The book will be particularly valuable for peptide and protein chemists involved in related research and production.
