Papain contains three <scene name='Sandbox_39/Disulfide_bonds/5'>disulfide bonds</scene>. These bonds are found between Cys-22 and Cys 63, between Cys-56 and Cys-95, and between Cys-153 and Cys-200. These bonds can be seen above as yellow rods, connecting Cysteine residues, also shown in yellow. | Papain contains three <scene name='Sandbox_39/Disulfide_bonds/5'>disulfide bonds</scene>.

== Hydrogen Bonding == | |||
Hydrogen bonds are essential for the stability of a protein. In this ribbon diagram, the hydrogen bonds can be seen between the secondary structures of the protein highlighted in orange. Papain contains very specific hydrogen bonding between the amino acid residues. This representation clearly shows how crucial hydrogen bonding is to help maintain the stability of the protein. | |||
