Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Cystine, the oxidized form of cysteine, plays a special role in protein structure since its disulfide group serves as a covalent cross-link between two polypeptide chains or between two points in a single chain. Disulfide cross-links can be cleaved by the action of reducing agents, e. g., mercaptoethanol, which yields two molecules of cysteine from cystine. Cystine can also be oxidized by such agents as performic acid, to yield two molecules of cysteic acid. 11, record 3, English, - cystine

Il y a 3 aminoacides soufrés, la méthionine, la cystéine et la cystine; mais les deux derniers sont très facilement interconvertibles par oxydation-réduction et on peut considérer qu'ils n'en forment qu'un. La méthionine est - pour le rat comme pour l'homme - un aminoacide indispensable, alors qu'il n'est pas indispensable de fournir la cystéine. Cependant, lorsqu'on donne de la cystéine, les besoins en méthionine diminuent, ce qui suggère qu'une partie de la méthionine est utilisée à former la cystéine; ceci devait être confirmé par les études faites à l'aide d'isotopes radioactifs. 6, record 3, French, - cystine

Usually, one rock is a standard type, e. g. a mid-oceanic-ridge basalt or a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. Data for the test rock are "normalized" to the standard by dividing the abundance for each element by the abundance in the standard and plotting the quotient, usually in order of atomic number. Elements which have the same abundance in the test rock as in the standard yield a quotient of 1; if the two compositions were identical the plot would be a straight line through 1 on the y axis. Elements more abundant in the test rock yield numbers greater than 1; those less abundant yield numbers less than 1. By connecting the points plotted by a single line, a spidery diagram of peaks and troughs is obtained which illustrates immediately systematic differences in composition, e. g. relative enrichment in incompatible elements. 2, record 4, English, - spider%20diagram

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In the atmosphere, trees and other grounded objects with points and protuberances may, in disturbed weather, be sources of point discharge current. Close to a pointed and grounded conductor that extends above surrounding objects, the local electric field strength may be many times greater than that existing at the same level far from the elevated conductor. When this local field reaches such a value that a free electron, finding itself acted upon by this field, can be accelerated(in one mean free path) to a sufficiently high velocity to ionize neutral air molecules, point discharge will begin. Different structures will yield point discharge under quite different gross field conditions, for geometry is critically important. Point discharge is recognized as a major process of charge transfer between electrified clouds and the earth, and is a leading item in the charge balance of the global electrical circuit. 3, record 5, English, - point%20discharge

Ce champ peut être fortement modifié par le relief : ce n'est donc qu'une valeur moyenne.
