Abstract
Oxidation and disulfide coupling of cysteine, processes central to oxidative stress and biochemical signaling, are modeled using DFT and solvent-assisted proton exchange, a method of microsolvation. Calculated barriers are consistent with experimental kinetics and observed product ratios and suggest a dependence on the polarity of the surrounding medium.Entities:
