Table 1. Oxidation of methionines.

Methionine-containing peptide fragments detected that show a mass increase of 16 or 32 Da after proteolytic digestion of TmPOx (inactivated during turnover of 100 mM D-glucose, treated with endogenous H2O2 or unaffected). Proteolytic digestion was performed with trypsin or Asp-N protease as indicated. The last column indicates whether the particular Met is considerably oxidised during substrate turnover and by H2O2 treatment compared to the unaffected sample (see also Fig 2).
