Question
Chapter 21, Problem 46A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The linkage between two cysteine species needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The amino acid is termed as the monomer of proteins. The peptide linkage and other hydrogen bonds make it stable and tensile.
Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid. With the help of the tertiary structure of cysteine provide the maintenance for other proteins present in the body.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 46A
The disulfide linkage forms between two cysteine species.
Explanation of Solution
Disulfide bridges present between cysteine chains.
The tertiary structure of cysteine provides strength by the presence of more disulfide linkage.
Conclusion
The sulfur-containing protein is cysteine composed of tertiary structure and it forms a dimer with the help of disulfide linkage.
