Abstract
Ab initio electronic structure calculations are used to explore the effect of nonneighboring positively charged groups on the ability of low-energy (<1 eV) electrons to directly attach to S−S σ bonds in disulfides to effect bond cleavage. It is shown that, although direct vertical attachment to the σ* orbital of an S−S σ bond is endothermic, the stabilizing Coulomb potential produced in the region of the S−S bond by one or more distant positive groups can render the S−S σ* anion state electronically stable. This stabilization, in turn, can make near vertical electron attachment exothermic. The focus of these model studies is to elucidate a proposed mechanism for bond rupture that may, in addition to other mechanisms, be operative in electron capture dissociation (ECD) experiments. The importance of these findings lies in the fact that a more complete understanding of how ECD takes place will allow workers to better interpret ECD fragmentation patterns observed in mass spectrometric studies of proteins and polypeptides.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
