Jan, If the Cys residues are accessible, you could try DTNB to quantify the number of Cys, thus determining if they are reduced or bridged. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellman's_reagent Kelly *** Kelly Daughtry, Ph.D. Post-Doctoral Fellow, Rae

Dear all, I am working on a protein where I have to stabilize the closed conformation of the protein using disulphide bond. The strategy to design the cysteine mutants is based on the molecular dynamic simulations, and accordingly the residues were chosen. The ultimate goal is to trap the ligand i
