The structure of a disulfide bond can be described by its χ ss dihedral angle between the C β −S γ −S γ −C β atoms, which is usually close to ±90°. The disulfide bond stabilizes the folded form of a protein in several ways: It holds two portions of the protein together, biasing the protein towards the folded topology.
The full description of these effects, in a band structure picture, requires at least a rudimentary model of electron-electron interactions (see space charge, band bending). Small systems: For systems which are small along every dimension (e.g., a small molecule or a quantum dot ), there is no continuous band structure.
The free-electron picture has, nevertheless, remained a dominant one in introductory courses on metallurgy. The electronic band structure model became a major focus for the study of metals and even more of semiconductors. Together with the electronic states, the vibrational states were also shown to form bands.
In solid-state physics, the valence band and conduction band are the bands closest to the Fermi level, and thus determine the electrical conductivity of the solid. In nonmetals, the valence band is the highest range of electron energies in which electrons are normally present at absolute zero temperature, while the conduction band is the lowest range of vacant electronic states.
Graph of carbon atoms being brought together to form a diamond crystal, demonstrating formation of the electronic band structure and band gap. The right graph shows the energy levels as a function of the spacing between atoms. When far apart (right side of graph) all the atoms have discrete valence orbitals p and s with the same energies.
Nickel sulfide is any inorganic compound with the formula Ni x S y. These compounds range in color from bronze (Ni 3 S 2) to black (NiS 2). The nickel sulfide with simplest stoichiometry is NiS, also known as the mineral millerite. From the economic perspective, Ni 9 S 8, the mineral pentlandite, is the chief source of mined

Conversion of simple disulfides to thiosulfinates results in a considerable weakening of the S–S bond from about 47.8 to 28.0 kcal mol −1 for the S-S bond in PhS(O)SPh and from about 63.2 to 39.3 kcal mol −1 for the S-S bond in MeS(O)SMe, [14] with the consequence that most thiosulfinates are both unstable and quite reactive.
