        Yes, but the recombinant protein must have the natural
C-terminal Gly extension which becomes oxidized in the 2-step
amidation reaction. Here is our paper for both an expression system
with subsequent amidation:

Insect Diuretic Hormone by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, K. S. Copley, S.
M. Alm, D. A. Schooley and W. E. Courchesne, Biochem J., 330,
