We study deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons from polarised spin-1/2 hadrons in terms of the gauge/gravity duality. We calculate the structure functions related to spin-1/2 fermionic operators of $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 SYM theory in the planar limit and at strong coupling. Specifically, we focus on the twist-3 operator which is dual to a certain dilatino mode and gives the leading contribution to the hadronic tensor. We consider the Bjorken variable within the parametric range ; ; $$ {\uplambda}_{\mathrm{SYM}}^{-1/2}\ll x<1 $$; where the supergravity dual description holds. From dimensional reduction of type IIB supergravity on the five-sphere, we derive the interaction terms involving two dilatini and a massless vector field mode. This vector field is a linear combination of certain components of the graviton and the four-form potential. The angular integrals on the five-sphere lead to selection rules for the interactions with important consequences on the dynamics. This implies the existence of new terms contributing to the structure functions that we explicitly calculate. The leading contribution comes from the Pauli term, followed by the contributions from the new terms we found.
