Sumarry
We synthesized some model proteins, which have multiple disulfide bonds and show activity when a correct disulfide bond is formed. Some proteins could form a correct disulfide bond using GSSG (oxidizing agent) only. In most cases, isomerase, DsbC or PDI, is required for activity.
Materials and Methods

* GSSG oxidizes PDI and has a role to move the whole reaction solution in the oxidation direction.
* Ero1α is an enzyme that specifically oxidizes PDI and does NOT move the whole reaction solution in the oxidation direction.
