Each value represents the average and standard deviation of 3 experiments.

2

Measured as PhIP

3

Measured as LQQC*PF adduct following digestion with trypsin/chymotrypsin

4

Measured as C*PF following digestion with pronase E, leucine aminopeptidase, and prolidase; two digests done on different days

5

The amount of titratable Cys in β-mercaptoethanol reduced HSA was 0.95 nmol Cys/nmol SA and <0.02 nmol Cys/nmol SA in 4-CMBA-treated HSA
