Need help, please. **Proteins and Cysteine Oxidation:**Proteins that contain reduced cysteine (Cys) can react with oxygen from the air to form intra- or intermolecular disulfide bonds (Cys-Cys). To understand the role of air in Cys oxidation, we will analyze how the amino acid Cys reacts with the oxygen present in the air. The half-cell reactions for the formation of water and Cys-Cys are:1. \( 4 \, \text{H}^+ + \text{O}_2 + 4 \, \text{e}^- \rightarrow 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \, \varepsilon^\circ = 0.816 \, \text{V} \)2. \( 2 \, \text{H}^+ + \text{Cys-Cys} + 2 \, \text{e}^- \rightarrow 2 \, \text{Cys}, \, \varepsilon^\circ = -0.340 \, \text{V} \)**Tasks:****a.** Write the balanced net chemical equation for the electron transfer reaction for the above half-cell reactions written in the direction that ultimately reduces \( \text{O}_2 \).**b.** What is the value of \( \varepsilon^\circ \) for the chemical reaction in part a? Be sure to include units.**c.** Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant at \( T = 25 \, °\text{C} \) for the reaction in part a.**d.** You prepare a 0.020 M solution of Cys at pH 7.0 and let it stand in contact with air at 25 °C. Estimate the concentration of (Cys-Cys) at equilibrium.
