Radiation- and Photo-Induced Oxidation Pathways of Methionine in Model Peptide Backbone under Anoxic Conditions
Within the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cellular metabolisms, hydroxyl radicals (HO<sup>•</sup>) play an important role, being the most aggressive towards biomolecules. The reactions of HO<sup>•</sup> with methionine residues (Met) in peptides and proteins have...
