Amino acid sequences protein disulfide-isomerase

Shuffle test. An enzyme that catalyzes disulfide-sulfhydryl exchange reactions, called protein disulfide isomerase (PDl), has been isolated. PDI rapidly converts inactive scrambled ribonuclease into enzymatically active ribonuclease. In contrast, insulin is rapidly inactivated by PDI. What does this important observation imply about the relation between the amino acid sequence of insulin and its three-dimensional structure ...
