Medical Definition of Disulphide bond

1. The S S linkage. A linkage formed between the SH groups of two cysteine moieties either within or between peptide chains. Each cysteine then becomes a half cystine residue. S S linkages stabilise, but do not determine, secondary structure in proteins. They are easily disrupted by SH groups in an exchange reaction and are not present in cytosolic proteins (cytosol has a high concentration of glutathione that has a free SH residue).
