Summary[S6S]Cysteine was added, during mixing, to doughs made from wheat flour, in amounts which did not significantly affect the level of endogenous diffusible sulphydryl compounds in flour and which produced no change in the rheological properties of the dough. The doughs were fractionated by ultracentrifugation and analysis of the distribution of the isotope in the dough fractions demonstrated that [S6S]cysteine was bound to both soluble and gluten proteins by disulphide bonds.[14C]Leucine did not become bound to the fractions of dough under the same conditions. Incorporation of cysteine into dough was increased in the a.bsence of air, suggesting disulphide--sulphydryl exchange rather than oxidation as the mode of incorporation. The amount of isotope bound to protein was also increased either by lengthening the times of mixing or relaxation of the dough.The incorporated [S6S]cysteine could be released in dough only by the addition of large excess of unlabelled cysteine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
