A New Method for Determination of Disulfide Pairing in Peptides

A new method developed for determination of disulfide pairings in peptides.This method consisted in the synthesis of peptides with deuteriocysteine residues at given positions and the analysis of deuteriocystine generated in the acid hydrolyzates of the synthetic peptides by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.The availability of this method was confirmed by its application for determining the positions of disulfide linkages in a heat-stable enterotoxin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Serine octamer reactions: Indicators of prebiotic relevance

The earliest molecule of life? Chirally selective reactions relevant to the origin of homochiral life are undergone by serine. Chiral exchange between serine, glyceraldehyde, and glucose occurs, favoring the enantiomers (L-serine, D-sugars) present in modern living systems (see picture).
