Evidence for the formation of disulfide radicals in protein crystals upon X-ray irradiation

Irradiation of proteins with intense X-ray radiation produced by third-generation synchrotron sources generates specific structural and chemical alterations, including breakage of disulfide bonds and decarboxylation. In this paper, disulfide bond lengths in irradiated crystals of the enzyme Torpedo...
