The ribonuclease A protein has 8 Cys residues and makes 4 disulfide bonds in the native folded
conformation. If the protein is allowed to make disulfide bonds while it is in the denatured
(completely unfolded) state, the number of possible configurations with 4 disulfide pairings is
found to be 105 . (a) Rationalize the 105 configurations. (b) The protein is unfolded by addition
of urea and the disulfide bonds are disrupted by addition of a reducing agent. The protein is then
allowed to fold back by (i) first adding an oxidizing agent (to reform disulfide bonds) before
removing urea (ii) first removing urea and then adding the oxidizing agent In each of the
scenarios above, what level of protein activity is recovered? Explain.
