Arrange the following steps in the correct chronological order as they occur during the natural synthesis and maturation of human insulin, and its production using recombinant DNA technology: 1. Formation of disulfide bridges between A and B chains. 2. Synthesis of pro-hormone (pro-insulin) with C-peptide. 3. Introduction of DNA sequences for A and B chains into E. coli plasmids. 4. Separate production and extraction of A and B polypeptide chains in bacteria. 5. Enzymatic removal of C-peptide from pro-insulin. 6. Combination of separately produced A and B chains by creating disulfide bonds in vitro.
