I also wanted to oxidize two monomers to form a covalently linked dimer.
I tried different solution as H2O2, which gave good and clean results 
(send me a email if you want the reference), Zn or Cu solutions, but
the cleanest and quite efficient in my case was incubating my proteins
 overnight in a oxygene atmosphere with shaking.

 Good luck Vennie
