Disulfide bonds

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any information available regarding the range of Ca-to-Ca distances between two cysteine residues forming disulfide bonds. Is there any software available for analysing the PDB for this kind of information? Some old textbooks suggest a distance of 4.4-6.8 A. I would very much appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.

Regards,

I'd google for "Bart Hazes" and "SSBOND" myself. There is (or was) a server, and the publication is Prot. Eng. 1988, 119, 25 (PMID 3244694). The server seems to be down or has moved.

HTH, Fred.

Hi Fred,

The SSBOND server has indeed been moved as we have relocated to a new building. SSBOND is still available at the new server address: http://hazeslab.med.ualberta.ca/forms/ssbond.html

This was my first ever program,with help from Bauke Dijkstra, and I was pleasantly surprised how many messages I got after the server relocation. SSBOND will soon get some competition for most used service as I am about to release some bioinformatics services.

I wonder if it's not in the output of pisa from ccp4mg.
