Oxidative folding of peptides and proteins

With contributions from experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the oxidative folding of cysteine-rich peptides, The formation of disulfide bonds is probably the most influential modification of peptides and proteins. An elaborate set of cellular machinery exists to cata...
