Add information on breaking disulfides first and reforming others.

You may wish to break the disulfides to unfold the protein more than you could obtain if you did not:
* Either pick the two atoms (pk1 and pk1, they will be called in the list to the side in Pymol) by going into 3 button Editing mode and selecting the bond between the two atoms and hitting Ctrl-right-click or choose pk1 first by hitting Ctrl-middle-click as you touch the atom and then selecting the next and doing the same.
*Once the two atoms are chosen, breakt the bond by entering 'unbond pk1,pk2'
