Analysis of sulfhydryl groups in zein.

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1985
Zein, an associate of two heterogeneous subunits, was fractionated into monomer, dimer and polymer (a mixture of the trimer and higher polymers) fractions. Sulfhydryl group analysis showed that almost all cysteine residues of the dimer and the polymer were involved in formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds.
