A Specific and Sensitive Assay for Disulfides

Open access
Zahler, W L, Cleland, W W·1968·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

A specific and sensitive assay for disulfide groups has been developed, based on reduction with dithioerythritol or dithiothreitol and determination of the resulting monothiols with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) in the presence of arsenite. The dissociation constants for the complexes formed between arsenite and dithioerythritol, dithiothreitol, 1,3-dithioglycerol, and 1,2-dithioglycerol have been measured, as well as the rate constants for the formation and breakdown of the complexes and for the bimolecular reaction between the complexes and 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The pK values of dithiothreitol are 8.3 and 9.5, and those for dithioerythritol are 9.0 and 9.9.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
