how does that compound react with the disulphide linkages ? i guess it was used in the analysis of insulin... and how does performic acid react with
the disulphide linkages??
thanks!

Re the performic acid reaction: see my post a day or two ago on another thread re aminoacids with -S-S- linkages.
The only likely reaction of HSCH2CH2OH with such an aminoacid, or its reduced form with -SH groups instead, is, in my opinion, formation of an ester
or thioester.
