My question really is where does the disulfide bridge go

Post by Abightly »

I was wondering if anyone could help with designing a surrogate molecule. I am to design a Styrene Butadiene polymer with disulfide bridges. I have calculated that there are 12 monomers required with only one disulfide bridge (two sulfur atoms). My question really is where does the disulfide bridge go

Normaly the Disulfid will connect two Polymer chain or the same chain for folding each other. Its also called crosslinking.
