Crystals of the hexadecameric form of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase used to solve the structure of the enzyme are composed of protein substantially crosslinked by a disulfide bond between pairs of large subunits. Conditions leading to the selective formation of dimers of the large subunits are described. The stability and specificity of the intra-dimeric crosslink was used to confirm that only one cysteine residue, Cys247 of neighboring large subunits, is involved in the bridge. The ability to generate this disulfide selectively, or alternatively replace the cysteine by site-directed mutagenesis, has led us to conclude that there is no effect of these changes on any of the critical kinetic parameters of the enzyme. The benign effect of the oxidation indicates that the crystal structures of the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase, particularly of the active site, are a true representation of the native enzyme.
